Jiiva's next will have a live chimpanzee

Jiiva who has been having a low patch in his career has signed his next film titled Gorilla which will apparently feature a live chimpanzee. And it looks like this is the first time in Tamil film industry. This film is directed by Don Sandy and will feature Shalini Pandey of Arjun Reddy fame romancing Jiiva.

The director says, " The story revolves around the chimpanzee and we wanted to give our best to the audience. Hence, we would be bringing in the chimpanzee, named Kong, from the world-renowned Samut Training Station in Thailand. This place has trained animals for Hollywood films like Hangover 2 and Planet Of The Apes. The whole film revolves around the chimpanzee and we have been training the animal for the action and comedy sequences for the past four months. We are sure that the chimpanzee would evoke a smile on the faces of our audience. We hope children and family audiences enjoy its presence."

The film will start rolling from January 22. The team will be shooting the Bangkok portions in February. Click the Movie button below for more info:
