Mumbai, May 8

After hilariously getting caught red-handed sleeping on the sets of his latest film 'The Sheep Detectives,' Hollywood star Hugh Jackman jokingly asked a question if he was "napping or meditating" to cover up his funny crime.

A relaxed Jackman shared a behind-the-scenes video of himself on Instagram, where he was seen asleep between shots on a chair on the film set.

The actor jokingly questioned in the caption section: "Meditating or napping??? Between shots on location filming @thesheepdetectives #george #BTS @workingtitlefilms."

"The Sheep Detectives," which is directed by Kyle Balda, is based on the 2005 novel Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann.

Jackman stars alongside Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau, and Emma Thompson.

Actors who have lent their voices include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, and Brett Goldstein.

As per the synopsis, the film revolves around a shepherd named George Hardy, who loves to read murder mysteries to his sheep. He never suspected that they could understand him.

When George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep decide to solve the crime themselves, even if it means leaving their meadow for the first time and facing the fact that the human world isn't as simple as it appears in books.

Talking about the 57-year-old star, Jackman's breakthrough role was Wolverine, which he played across the X-Men film franchise and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe from X-Men to Deadpool & Wolverine.

He has been feted with a Primetime Emmy Award, a Grammy Award and two Tony Awards, along with nominations for an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award.

In a journey spanning over 27 years, he has worked in a variety of genres in cinema.

His filmography boasts of romantic comedies such as Kate & Leopold, action-horror Van Helsing, drama films such as The Prestige, period romance Australia, the science fiction film Real Steel, the musical Les Misérables, thrillers such as Prisoners, the musical The Greatest Showman, the political drama The Front Runner and the crime drama Bad Education to name a few.

I love how Hugh Jackman is so grounded despite his massive stardom - from Wolverine to napping on set, he keeps it real. And a film about sheep solving murders? That's the kind of quirky content Bollywood should attempt more often!

Honestly, the movie concept sounds amazing - sheep as detectives! This is like the next level of 'Baahubali' level creativity but with woolly friends. Jackman sleeping on set just adds to the charm. Can't wait to see this one!

It's great to see Hugh Jackman having fun again after the emotional Wolverine farewell. The sheep murder mystery plot is unique - reminds me of our Panchatantra stories where animals talk and solve problems. Bollywood should make a desi version with goats!

Sleeping on set is totally understandable when you're a 57-year-old superhero juggling so many projects. Jackman's honesty about his power nap is refreshing. And the cast for 'The Sheep Detectives' is stellar - Emma Thompson, Bryan Cranston, Patrick Stewart? Count me in!

While I appreciate Hugh Jackman's sense of humor, this feels like a minor PR stunt. But credit where due - the man has worked hard for 27 years and delivered legendary performances. A little nap is well deserved. Also, the sheep detective novel is hilarious, will definitely watch!
