A man-cub in the jungle is a sour thumb as it is, what happens when Shere Khan, hurt by a grown man, realises that Mowgli is being protected by the wolf pack? Watch the video to find out more.

In the new clip, Shere Khan (voiced by Idris Elba)is confronting Akela (Giancarlo Esposito) for raising a kid, Mowgli (Neel Sethi), in the jungle, his domain. Akela defends him. But Shere Khan reminds him: "Let me remind you. A man-cub becomes man and man is forbidden!"
Let me take the liberty of swooning over the bone-chilling voice of Idris Elba as his Bengal tiger makes sure that everyone follows the rules of the jungle. A Brit baddie never hurt the eyes, in this case, the ears!
The same character will be voiced by Nana Patekar in the Hindi version of the movie. Once again a man of unique diction.
Here is a list of characters and who will voice them
Shere Khan - Idris Elba - Nana Patekar
Bagheera - Ben Kingsley - Om Puri
Baloo - Bill Murray - Irrfan Khan
King Louie - Christopher Walken - Bugs Bhargava Krishna

Directed by Jon Favreau, The Jungle Book will hit the Indian Shores on April 8. One week ahead of rest of the world.
