The World Premiere of Netflix's Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, will be held in Mumbai on November 25th, with director and star Andy Serkis joined by Christian Bale, Freida Pinto, Louis Ashbourne Serkis and newcomer Rohan Chand who plays Mowgli in the film.


The star-studded cast will walk the red-carpet and attend the world premiere screening.


This reimagining of Rudyard Kipling's classic, one of India's most beloved stories, will be available to Netflix members worldwide starting December 7th, 2018.


The cast includes Christian Bale as Bagheera, Cate Blanchett as Kaa, Andy Serkis as Baloo, Naomie Harris as Nisha, Peter Mullan as Akela, Louis Ashbourne Serkis as Bhoot and Benedict Cumberbatch as Sher Khan with Matthew Rhys and Freida Pinto playing key characters from the local village and Rohan Chand in the title role of Mowgli.


OK, so Cumberbatch won't cross the seas and come to India, but at least you can watch Sher Khan roar in his timbre.
