He is a southern-born Tamil, the son of a candy maker, blessed with the unlikely ability to spin a cricket ball like a top. In Tamil-controlled territory only the fearsome and reclusive Tamil Tiger rebel leader Velupillai Prabakharan matches his legend.

Venerable Japanese screen idol Sonny Chiba is both cast member and combat coach...
...back of an elephant?the maharajas hunted in this style. You can also reserve an evening in a crude wooden watchtower called a machaan, where you can stealthily observe a watering hole as the creatures of the night go on the prowl.
