Details
It took Andy four years to make 'Mowgli'
During an appearance on 'This Morning', Andy said, "It's much closer to the tone of Rudyard Kipling's book and it takes into account the world that Kipling was living in.. It's a live-action movie so we shot on location." "It took almost four years to make. We wanted to put some space between us and Jon Favreau's Disney film," he added.
