OFFICIAL TRAILER LAUNCH AT 2019 FESTIVAL DE CANNES
Societe Generale is proudly supporting Jungle Cry - a film based on a true story of 12 Indian boys who went on to make history by being the first ever Indian team to win a rugby nations championship.
The film ‘Jungle Cry’,
a Hollywood / Bollywood production, is due to be released
in July 2019.
The official trailer
and poster will be unveiled
during the 2019
Cannes Film Festival. ‘Jungle Cry’ showcases a triumphant journey
of young tribal
boys who used
to play sports
bare foot, were
trained to play
Rugby in just four
months and then
go on to win the International Junior
Rugby Tournament held
in England in 2007.
Societe Generale, supporting rugby since
1987, is partnering with Rugby India
since 2016 to harnesses
talent from the grassroots and build strong
national teams by taking them
to their highest
international level. For Antoine
Castel, Chief Executive Officer for Societe
Generale Corporate &
Investment Banking in India: “The message conveyed by ‘Jungle Cry’
is completely aligned
with Societe Generale’s involvement in Rugby especially in India. In a year
where we are also supporting Rugby World Cup 2019 happening in Asia for the
first time ever,
this story, taken
to the most disadvantaged communities, is giving a sense of empowerment and self-belief and also helping
these youngsters achieve
their dreams.”
Director Sagar
Ballary adds, “This
is my first sports biopic
as a director and it's
indeed a special
one as the film
is as authentic and organic
as it can be. Being
a true story,
our film is blessed to capture teenage rugby players
on the field to brand
partners such as Societe Generale, that has a rich rugby lineage. Societe
Generale is synonymous with iconic moments
in Rugby World
Cup’s history and I was extremely excited to reignite
this powerful combination when we were
at Wales. Followers of the sport know the bank’s valuable contribution to the game.”
Lead actor Abhay Deol
comments, “I am elated that
Societe Generale with
more than 30 years of rich
global Rugby
lineage has come onboard to showcase this spellbinding adventure of the rise of the underdogs winning the game at a global
level. Societe Generale is driven by the engaging promise in the statement ‘The Future is You’ where
they want to empower individuals to build their
own destinies. The children are the future
of a country and our film is a vehicle
that has captured
their passion, achievement and the progress they
have made for India. “

story of Jungle
Cry has been filmed in India and Wales. The partnership with Societe

truly been supporting Rugby globally. The fact that
