Also featuring Pulkit Samrat, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Zoya Hussain, the film chronicles the journey of man who fights for the jungle and the animals.
The “Baahubali” star also took to Twitter and shared a new motion poster of the film.
“Life begins and the jungle roars #HaathiMereSaathi, in theatres on Makar Sankranti 2021!” the actor tweeted.
Daggubati had described the film as a reflection to the environmental crisis across the world.
“It’s a mirror to the society. This happening in many parts of the country, the world. Everywhere there’s an elephant corridor and urbanisation around. There are cities which grow and break the natural habitat.
“As filmmakers, artistes, we have films to voice out certain things. To influence people in the most entertaining way possible,” the actor had said.
