Speaking on the announcement, Ajit Thakur, CEO,
Trinity Pictures said, “Continuing to build our promise of mega franchises
based on completely new and contemporary stories, we are very excited to
announce Haathi Mere Saathi. I have been always inspired by this space and it’s
a dream to create a true-blue animal film signifying a deep and strong bond
between humans and animals. Elephants, the largest land animals on the planet,
are among the most expressive of creatures. These giants can depict the finest
emotions like joy, anger, grief, compassion, love reside in them and with
Haathi Mere Saathi, we are hoping to present a truly enjoyable, entertaining
and thought-provoking animal film for all ages. And with Prabhu Solomon’s
passion and Rana Daggubati’s star power, we have the best team on board to
realise this dream”.
Director Prabhu Solomon said, “I once again
commence a journey with one of my favourite subjects - elephants and happy to
have a leading studio like Eros & Trinity back it. Elephants are truly amazing, intelligent and
magnificent creatures and humans can take notes from the way they live, think
and act and love. It will be quite exciting and a first for me to shoot the
film simultaneously in multiple languages and I’m looking forward to the
experience”.
Rana Daggubati added, “There’s a very exciting
physical language to the character I'm playing in 'Haathi Mere Saathi' something
entirely different from what I've done in the past. I've always wanted to be a
part of content that can travel across the country, and am very happy that
Trinity is backing cinema of this genre. It's a rare story about the relevance
of nature in our lives, narrated through a wonderful relationship between man
and elephant. This story is definitely another of those rare challenges I'm
beginning to enjoy being a part off. Prabhu Solomon passion for nature and
elephants makes him probably the finest craftsman in the country who can handle
a story like this”.
Haathi Mere Saathi is slated to release on Diwali
2018.
