5th November 2015

It won't be wrong to say that Desi girl Priyanka Chopra has reached the pinnacle of her career. 

The actress will lend her voice to an educational docu-feature.  And what's more interesting is she will lend her voice to an animated elephant, Ellie.

She tweeted, "Very excited about my new project w/ @peta to teach school kids that animals are #NotOurs2Use for entertainment! http://peta.vg/1nsi"

The actress said, "I'm going to be a walking, talking, mechanical elephant. Ellie and I are going to teach kids that elephants belong in the wild with their families, not in captivity, forced to learn tricks."

It also associated with PETA's new campaign. It's a series about an elephant Ellie, who is separated from mother and how she goes through all the ups and downs in her life till she is transferred to a sanctuary.

She further added that this whole campaign is to make kids understand how animals belong in the wild and educate them about animal abuse also.

"I have been informed that a seven-year-old wants to see me in my Ellie avatar and ask why circuses don't use robots instead of live animals."

Series will also be screened in Indian schools.
