I wanted to make an emotional version of this story, which has already been told many times, I wanted to explore being an outsider. Being dislodged, being other. It is a hugely contemporary idea that could do with exploration.

It would’ve been Warner Bros. instead of Netflix but because of too many delays in the project, Warner Bros. thought that handing over the rights of Mowgli to Netflix is going to be a right decision and it was indeed, as the hype is really high and fans who were waiting to see the Mowgli on the big-screen again will now be able to see him sooner than before after the new release date.

I’m really excited about Netflix for Mowgli, Now, we avoid comparisons to the other movie and it’s a relief not to have the pressure. I’ve seen the 3D version, and it’s exceptional, a different view from the 2D version, really lush and with great depth, and there will be some kind of theatrical component for that. What excites me most is the forward thinking at Netflix in how to present this, and the message of the movie.”

“They understand this is a darker telling that doesn’t fit it into a four quadrant slot. It’s really not meant for young kids, though I think it’s possible that 10 or above can watch it. It was always meant to be PG-13, and this allows us to go deeper, with darker themes, to be scary and frightening in moments. The violence between animals is not gratuitous, but it’s definitely there. This way of going allows us to get the film out without compromise.

So, are you excited for the movie and what are your expectations from the movie? Tell us in the comments below.
