Mumbai: The adventure drama Haathi Mere Saathi now has a release date. The film will hit the big screens on April 2.

Besides announcing the release date, the makers have also unveiled a new poster in which Rana Daggubati can be seen standing in front of an elephant. Rana shared the poster on his Instagram handle and wrote, "Back with a release nationally after 3 years!! Sorry for the delay but I promise you it’s worth the wait.....Witness the biggest fight to #SaveTheForest🐘 in #Aranya (Telugu) #Kaadan (Tamil) #HaathiMereSaathi (Hindi) on April 2, 2020 at a theatre near you. @erosnow."

The trilingual film explores the relationship between a mahout and his elephant. The film will also release as Kaadan in Tamil and Aranya in Telugu.

Rana is the protagonist in all three titles. While Pulkit Samrat plays Rana's parallel lead in the Hindi version, southern actor Vishnu Vishal essays the role in Kaadan and Aranya. The heroines in all three versions are Shriya Pilgaonkar and Zoya Hussain.

Talking about the film, director Prabu Solomon said: "I am very excited about the project. The objective of bringing out a narrative of this scale in three different languages is to reach out to audiences in various parts of India. It is a subject that needs everyone's attention and should be talked about. I hope we make a difference with the three titles."

The movie is inspired by the unfortunate event of humans encroaching upon the elephant corridor in Kaziranga, Assam. The film traces the narrative of a man, essayed by Rana, who dedicates most of his life living in the jungle, with the sole purpose of protecting wild animals.
