Harshvardhan Rane's 'jungle book' birthday

Actor Harshvardhan Rane has made special plans for his birthday on Sunday. He will be wandering into the wild through the forest of Madhya Pradesh for a tiger safari.

The actor, who was last seen in veteran filmmaker J.P. Dutta's war drama "Paltan", loves nature and often goes on long-distance road trips with his friends.

"I've been an ardent fan of 'The Jungle Book' since I was 10. This year, I've got the opportunity to finally travel to Madhya Pradesh and see the great tiger roaming in its natural habitat.

"I can't wait to meet Shere Khan (a fictional tiger from the book) up close and personal," Harshvardhan said in a statement.
