Junglee is a family-adventure film, revolving around a vet, who on his homecoming to his father’s elephant reserve, re-unites with his childhood friend – Bhola, the elephant, and fights an international poachers racket. The Mask helmer Chuck Russell makes his return here for its release on April 5 and also stars Pooja Sawant, Asha Bhat, Atul Kulkarni, Makarand […]
