Raja Bheema’ director reveals ‘Bigg Boss Tamil Season 1’ winner Arav was tossed by an elephant while shooting the film

After juggling between the picturesque locations of Palakkad, Pollachi, and Thailand, the makers of Raja Bheema have heaved a huge sigh of relief since they have successfully wrapped up the project on time.

Talking about the film and Arav’s efforts, director Naresh Sampath, in a statement, said, “It was really a huge process since we were shooting across different places, especially in the thick and dense forests. Well, certain things look nice when planned on papers, but to experience something unexpected on the shooting spot is a really big hurdle to cross.”

“Especially, it was difficult for Arav who was tossed by an elephant. Although he had befriended it prior to the shooting, this was completely unexpected. The slippery rocks and grounds were yet another hurdle that we had to come across during the shooting in forests. However, we are now finally happy that the entire shooting has been wrapped up,” added Naresh.

Producer S Mohan confirmed that the team is now instantly working on post-production and is planning for a summer release.

Produced by S Mohan, Raja Bheema revolves around the man-animal conflict in a forest backdrop and is packaged with commercial ingredients. The film has Ashima Narwal as the female lead role and Oviya has done a small cameo as well, which includes shaking a leg with Arav. Oviya fell in love with Arav during the Bigg Boss show and it grabbed the attention of viewers. Now, in a recent interaction, Oviya has revealed that she is single and is good friends with Arav.
