The Elephant Whisperers: Bomman And Bellie Garnered Attention

The Oscar-winning documentary  The Elephant Whisperers has garnered international attention. The Elephant Whisperer documentary was shot in Theppakadu, a village in the Mudumalai forest in the Nilgiris district.

This documentary is made to explain the love struggles between two baby elephants, Raghu and Ammu, who were raised by a tribal couple named Bomman and Bellie.
