A Wildlife Photographer In A Telugu Movie

Creativity seems to be springing into the minds of Telugu film directors. I happened to visit a friend here in Sunnyvale, and his BIL was a big time Telugu movie buff. He was watching a new Telugu movie, Am not used to these movies but since there was nothing else to do I ended up watching the movie.
The lead character in the movie happens to be a wildlife photographer (Now isnt that something ). The role is played by Jugal Hansraj. Probably the director of this movie envisioned himself in that role as the photographer had around 15 people around him on a wildlife shoot, carrying all sorts of reflectors etc etc. May be they were there to help him identify the wildlife. The jungle has a tinge of white smoke everywhere. The director probably forgot to turn off one of those artificial smoke guns. Now how does Jugal Hansraj and his crew reach the jungle ? white water rafting. Hope Mr.Jugal and his crew carried weather sealed equipment.The scene goes like this: Jugal Hansraj is waiting on a shot of a fancy bird (some kind of a cuckoo). Just then a crew member steps on a dry leaf, the leaf crackles thereby making a loud noise ( there's definitely a mike out there ), this startles the bird, the bird looks at Jugal for like a minute ( as if telling him, 'someone scared me' ) and then flies away.
Perhaps the director has never seen any wildlife episode on discovery channel/ngc even by chance :). It was so hilarious to watch the filming of wildlife Hyderabad ishtyle :).
