The film features 10-year-old Neel Sethi, the only actor to appear on screen as young mancub Mowgli, the human boy raised by wolves in Rudyard Kipling’s famous 1894 collection of stories, and will have voice-over by stars like Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Idris Elba and Christopher Walken.
