5. Junglee

Junglee is an upcoming movie featuring the fit and athletic Vidyut Jammwal. The movie will be directed by the Hollywood director, Chuck Russell. Chuck Russell is well known for his movies like A Nightmare on the Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, the fantasy superhero comedy movie, The Mask, the action movie Eraser featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Scorpion King amongst many others. To begin with, Rohan Sippy was scheduled to direct he movie but he was dropped and Chuck Russell was roped in. Since it features Vidyut Jammwal in the starring role, the movie is sure to have tonnes and oodles of action and stunt work. The premise of the movie revolves around elephant poaching and ivory smuggling. It would apparently be an action thriller about the relationship between men and elephants. Vidyut Jammwal is rumoured to be playing the role of a veterinary doctor, who returns to his elephant reserve but finds that an international poachers’ racket has taken over the reserve. He then fights the poachers’ racket and rids the elephants of the danger that has befallen them. The movie has been given a Dussehra 2018 release and would be released on 19th October, 2018. It is being produced under the banner of ‘Junglee Pictures’ who had a stellar 2017 with ‘Bareilly ki Barfi’.

Vidyut Jammwal had a decent 2017 as he reprised his role in the Commander sequel, Commander 2: The Black Money Trail. It was the sequel to Commando: A One Man Army. Adah Sharma starred opposite Vidyut Jammwal in the movie. Esha Gupta had a major role in the movie too. The movie which was all about the action scenes and stunts performed by Vidyut without a body double or hanging ropes was adjudged to be a commercial success at the box office. He played a major role in the Ajay Devgn and Emran Hashmi period heist movie, Badshaaho.

Though the movie got off to a good start, it was not able to sustain it and eventually did not perform as well as it was being expected. There is a huge section of movie watchers who are inclined towards the action genre and Vidyut Jammwal seems to be cleaning the rafters in that genre currently!
