The mahout couple Bomman and Bellie raised the calf elephant “Reghu” in the Theppakadu elephant camp in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, which was the subject of the book and movie The Elephant Whisperers.
The life of the indigenous couple, how they raise “Reghu” the elephant, and the affection they show him are all depicted in The Elephant Whisperers. The director also expertly recorded the presence of “Ammu,” another calf elephant.
Under the banner of Sikhya Entertainment, Guneet Monga and Achin Jain produced the Academy Award-winning film.
