Speaking about working so closely with elephants, Rana said, "Once you're friends with the elephant, he or she is helping you doing half of the things. I play a character who lives in the wild; just like you build a bond with your co-actor, you build a bond with the elephant. Once you build that bond and relationship with an elephant, then when you're performing with an elephant, whether you're doing a jump or a fall or the elephant is hugging you, the elephant helps you perform. And the beauty is, as actors, we might give negative reactions, but the elephant will never give a negative reaction."

Rana also adds, "I've learnt so much by living in the forest, so close to nature and wildlife. They, especially the elephants, teach us to give back to this planet in every way possible, which we humans have forgotten somewhere down the line. This experience has changed me forever as a person."
