Film Explores Man-Nature Connect

CHENNAI-Actor Vemal, who plays the lead in director Dhinesh Kalaiselvan’s upcoming action thriller ‘Mahasenha’, has now disclosed how he fed jalebis to an elephant with which he had to act in a bid to befriend it.

The film, which is being produced by Marudham Productions, is an action thriller that will be rooted in nature, spirituality, and forest mythology. Sena the elephant plays a significant and symbolic part in the story.

Vemal said, “There is a portion in the film in which I had to shoot with this elephant. We shot the elephant portions of this film completely in Kerala. Initially, I was a little scared to act with the elephant because that was the time there were news reports that an elephant had crushed two people to death at Tiruchendur in Tamil Nadu.”

Written and directed by Dhinesh Kalaiselvan, the film will explore the eternal conflict between divine natural forces and human greed. The story, sources say, is set deep within the forests of Gudalur, Wayanad, Kollimalai and Ooty.

Kalaiselvan said, “Mahasenha is not just a film about the jungle — it’s a story about faith, power, and the harmony between man and nature. I wanted to explore how greed disturbs this divine balance, and how spirituality restores it. Every frame of this film reflects our respect for nature and the belief that divinity exists in every living being. The forest itself is a character — alive, emotional, and powerful.”

The film has been designed as a visually rich cinematic experience, combining real forest landscapes, stunning CGI artistry, and a deeply emotional human narrative. (IANS)
