Nana Patekar as Shere Khan: Back in the 90s Nana Patekar would get mobbed by children anxious to know if in the forthcoming episodes he would kill Mowgli. Thanks to Nana’s distinct rich voice best suited to portray the Bengal Tiger, got him more popularity than what he gained as Anna Seth in his super hit Parinda. He is back to give voice over of Shere Khan in the Indian version of ‘The Jungle Book’ while Hollywood version with have the voice of British actor Idris Elba.

Refreshing the Gulzar connection: ‘Jungle Jungle Baat Chali’ was undoubtedly the childhood anthem for many of us. The new version of ‘The Jungle Book’ will have the innovative new version of this track, which will recreate another magical episode for the new generation as Gulzar and Vishal Bharadwaj came together to record to new version of ‘Jungle Jungle Baat chali hai’.

Jungle boy Mowgli: As a child, many of us fancied Mowgli- the jungle boy, who strayed in the forest and was raised by the wolves as we simply adored his confidantes Bagheera and Baalu. Mowgli was nothing less than the superhero with an exceptional courage and intelligence to retain his uniqueness despite living in wilderness. Indian American boy Neel Sethi makes a mark as the new age Mowgli as he will soon kick start his promotional spree from India.

Rudyard Kipling: A whole lot of youngsters in India took to the classic novels and short stories by the Mumbai born English journalist and writer Rudyard Kipling, who made Indian jungles look heavenly in ‘The Jungle Book’. The TV series played an important role in drawing the audience to books and short stories by Kipling, who spent a considerable time of his youth India during the British colonial era.
