The nepotism debate has been a part of the Hindi film industry for a while now. While we have seen several ways they impact outsiders, Junglywood shows what people coming from non-film backgrounds can do if they set their mind to it. Directed by Chand, the trailer of the film gives an insight into the dark and gritty world of Hindi film industry, through the setting of a secret party. How the events unfold as the insiders and outsiders clash to come over top, makes it a very interesting watch.
Chand Mohammad, Director of JUNGLYWOOD spills beans on the same:
“With JUNGLYWOOD, I wanted to create a film that brings the soul of old-school cinema into the world of modern storytelling. My vision was to make a new-age film using classic cinematic techniques, relying on practical filmmaking, strong performances, atmosphere, and storytelling rather than visual effects. There is no VFX in the film, and that was a conscious creative choice.
I chose Bollywood as the backdrop because I have always felt that the stories unfolding behind the glamour are just as fascinating as the films we see on screen. People have an incredible curiosity about the industry, its power dynamics, its ambitions, and the personalities within it. It gives us a world that is entertaining, unpredictable, and full of contradictions.
JUNGLYWOOD is designed to be a fun, edgy, and thrilling cinematic experience, with unexpected turns and twists that stay with you long after the film ends. I believe Indian cinema has enormous room to experiment with form and storytelling while retaining the larger-than-life entertainment that audiences love. With this film, I want to contribute to that evolution and create something that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new he concludes*
The film Junglywood blends dark humour, psychological thrills and unexpected twists in an intriguing cinematic experience. It depicts a lot of ‘behind-the-scenes’ situations of the film industry through a hypothetical story. The film features Actor Shaan R Grover as Lead, Irina Rudakova and Deepak Kalra in pivotal roles, alongside multiple fresh faces, including Akash Jagga, Dia Singh and Niya Bapalawat.
