Featuring Vidyut Jammwal in a lead role in his most talked about film 'Junglee' now moves 6 months forward from its prior release date. The film was slated to release on October 19 but now gets a fresh release date of April 5, 2019.

The 'commando' actor shared a still from the film where he is seen touching Elephant's trunk with a lot of emotions. Vidyut tweeted, "We will go completely junglee at the theatres with the release of our film on April 5, 2019. Come and join the madness at a theatre near you."

The film is about a selfless bond between man and elephants and was locked for release on Dussehra previously. He will essay the role of Ashwath, a veterinarian who on his homecoming to his elephant reserve encounters and fights an international poachers racket.
