Indian-American Neel Sethi was born on December 22, 2003, in New York City. He is a child actor who landed a break-out role as Mowgli in John Favreau's 2016 live-action version of the classic tale 'The Jungle Book'. He also starred in the short film 'Diwali' (2013). He was selected for the role of Mowgli among thousands who auditioned across the globe. Also, he is the only real human character in 'The Jungle Book', with everyone else providing voices for the beast characters.
In the lush heart of the jungle, Mowgli, now a spirited eighteen-year-old, has found a slice of paradise with his adoptive family. The harmony is shattered when hunter rangers, led by the ruthless Samuel Alexander, invade their sanctuary. These hunters, under the guise of animal protection, are abducting creatures to populate shelters in far-off South America. Eve, Samuel’s daughter and a bright-eyed girl with a passion for the wild, discovers her father's true intentions. Her curiosity leads her to a shocking revelation: her father and his men are the captors, not the saviors, of the jungle’s inhabitants. Amidst this turmoil, Eve’s path crosses with Mowgli’s, the fabled man-cub, stirring a sense of urgency within her. Bagheera, the wise panther, recognizes the danger lurking in Samuel’s eyes – a reflection of the Gatekeeper who once ensnared him as a cub. He confides in Mowgli, revealing the peril that threatens their freedom. With the fate of the jungle in his hands, Mowgli must lead his family and friends to a new land, a haven where they can thrive without fear. As they embark on this journey for freedom, alliances form, courage is tested, and the very essence of liberty and coexistence hangs in the balance. Mowgli and Eve, along with their allies, must outwit Samuel and his hunters to secure a future where the jungle's inhabitants can live in peace.
