Ben Kingsley
, who gave the voice over to Bagheera in “
The Jungle Book
,” says that the mannerism of the big cat is just like that of a military general. Yes, what he said is 100% true. While watching the portions of Bagheera, we could really see a strict officer inside him. Beautiful presentation of the character! Kudos to the director and the VFX team. Ben Kingsley, who is inspired by Bagheera says, "I think I hum along, towards the end, with the famous song. But, Bagheera is just like a military. I don't think he's given to humming or singing. I see him as General Bagheera. Knowing that Kipling was born in India, I based my Bagheera on the kind of British officer who would be stationed in India, at the time of the Empire, who would have a lot of people under his command. He probably loves his men under his command, but he's a tough love coach. That military side of him, I really warmed to."
