If you remember the memorable plot of The Jungle Book which would make your feet tap around while Baloo hummed Bare Necessities, keep an eye out for the devious Sher Khan and root for a stubborn, naive and yet brave Mowgli, you may soon be able to see them come alive again. This time, not on your TV set or the big screen, but at the childhood home of author and Nobel Laureate Sir Rudyard Kipling, located within the premises of the Sir JJ School of Art at Fort.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has put in place a plan, which has been in the works for a few months now, to set up a virtual reality set near the bungalow, which will screen a show involving characters from The Jungle Book with the music score from the 1967 adaptation of the book, written in 1894. A BMC official who is part of the project said the equipment needed for the set up will be camouflaged at the site, so as to give the viewer a real taste of what it might be to roam around Mowgli's home.
