Dwayne Johnson said, “In essence, Frank’s boat, La Quila, is like the Millennium Falcon is to Han Solo. It's his baby. It may look dilapidated. It may look like a piece of junk, but it’s a beauty when it goes. It’s in itself its own character.”

Adding to that, Emily Blunt said, “La Quila is Frank’s pride and joy. She represents Frank’s heart and soul, in many ways. There is something incredibly charming about this rickety old boat that’s going to hopefully carry them all through this adventure.” Continuing, she adds, “Working on La Quila was really enchanting. You always want to be on sets that transport you somewhere else. And she was a comfy boat. There were lots of little places you could sit or curl up.”

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Jungle Cruise stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez and Jack Whitehall, with Jesse Plemons and Paul Giamatti. The Disney Studios film is set to release on 24th September, 2021 in Indian cinemas in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
