ln the thirties and forties, the lndian actor known as Sabu (born SeIar Shaik) captured the hearts of moviegoers in Britain and the United States as a completely new kind of big-screen icon. Sabu was a maharaja's elephant driver when he was discovered by
documentary trailblazer Robert Flaherty who cast him as the lead in EIephant Boy, a KipIing adaptation Flaherty directed with Zoltan Korda that would prove to be enormousIy popular. Sabu went on to headIine a series of fantasies and adventures, transcending the exoticism projected onto him by commanding the screen with effortless grace and humor. This series colIects three of the Iavish productions Sabu starred in for the British film titans the Korda brothers: EIephant Boy, the colonialist battIe adventure The Drum, and the timeless JungIe Book.
