The director of Mask Chuck Russell, has always wanted to be part of Hindi films and said that the story of Vidyut Jamwal-starrer Junglee is best suited to Indian groups because it explores the relationship between a human and an animal. "(I felt that this should not be said to Western actors.) It's about the relationship between a man and an elephant and in Indian DNA for centuries, I understood that it was I did not know why they were calling me for this film, but I realized it was because I still have to deal with the angle of relationships between humans and animals "

Russell, who debuted at Bollywood with Junglee said the two industries were good at telling stories bigger than life." I was jealous of Indian directors I discovered Indian films and, in adolescence, I found you singing and dancing in all genres.In the West, musicals were very limited. there are many differences but we (both) can tell stories bigger than life and our stars can wear it. "

The director, aged 60, is not completely alien to the new Bollywood, having watched 3 Idiots, Sultan, Baahubali, Raazi and Bareilly Ki Barfi . "When I see the world, I want to try to incorporate stories from different cultures. In addition, I realized that if everyone could enjoy a movie like 'The Mask', we are similar in terms of entertainment consumption. My mother was very fond of India, she died when we started working on the 'Junglee'. She was a travel agency. I continue the tradition of my family, "added Russell.

That's the case of The Mask with Jim Carrey or The Scorpion King starring Dwayne Johnson in his debut, Russell said that he always developed stories around his actors. "I develop scripts for the actors rather than starting with the script and then looking for someone else. I wanted to meet Vidyut, his memes and GIFs are very popular, but I did not know his movies. "I created this character for him. He has a fun and vulnerable side that was interesting to explore. These men and women are brave and act. The film is released Friday.
