According to reports of a source, Rana Daggubati’s Haathi Mere Saathi is taking a longer time than expected since the shooting involves a lot of scenes in the wild. Many wild animals are also being incorporated in the movie and visual effects also have an important role to play. The source also reportedly added that the post-production work is taking more time which is causing the delay in the release of Haathi Mere Saathi.
