The sixth edition of the Sharjah International Children’s Film Festival (SICFF 2018) will host the famous Jungle Book actor who played the role of Mowgli. Indian-American Neel Sethi will attend the festival which will take place from October 14 to 19 at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre (JRCC). The 14-year-old actor showed off his acting skills in portraying the role and recently described his similarities to Mowgli at another film festival. “I’m stubborn and I look like him in terms of build, and we have a lot in common,” he said.
