"We
have
a
great
story
to
tell
with
Haathi
Mere
Saathi.
It
is
a
wholesome
journey
of
a
man
who
is
closely
connected
to
nature,
best
friends
with
elephants
and
a
faithful
protector
of
their
community.
The
film
draws
light
on
some
serious
issues
faced
by
these
communities
and
the
thorough
dedication
to
the
cause.
I
feel
privileged
to
be
a
part
of
a
project
like
this.
It
is
an
important
film
and
story
that
needs
to
be
told
and
it's
great
that
through
its
Direct-to-TV
release
on
Zee

and
post-release
streaming
on

Now,
it
will
reach
the
audiences
across
the
nation."
Talking
about
the
film,
Prabu
Solomon
said,
"When
I
first
thought
of
this
story,
I
had
a
clear
vision
of
what
I
wanted
to
convey.
I
wanted
to
put
across
a
germ
of
thought
with
the
potential
to
ignite
progressive
conversations
around
the
cause
of
protecting
elephants
and
nature.
Haathi
Mere
Saathi
is
an
honest
attempt
at
showcasing
the
pure
bond
between
the
two
ecosystems
and
how
they
collide
to
rescue
one
another
when
faced
with
a
problem.
I
consider
myself
lucky
that
I
managed
to
get
a
cast
that
was
equally
passionate
and
eager
to
help
the
story
with
added
vision
and
edge
to
it.
The
movie
directly
releasing
on
