In the trailer, Mowgli can be seen stuck between two worlds. Played by Rohan Chand, he was found by a pack of wolves when he was a baby and as they bring him up as one of their own, Mowgli soon starts to realise the reality of himself.

The boy discovers a village nearby where he meets human beings, who look like him and move like him. Conflicted between the two families, Mowgli crosses the adventurous path of a jungle boy, while trying to keep the jungles safe.

By the end of the trailer, Shere Khan leaves a significant impact on the audiences and while the little boy struggles to find his true identity, the story unfolds its different chapters.
