There is no final word on the confirmation of the project yet, according to Variety.
However, if Smith would choose to take up the job, it is likely to affect the "Bad Boys" sequel, "Bad Boys for Life", which is already in the pipleline.
As per the currect situation, it will be difficult for the 48-year-old actor to shoot for both the films simultaneously.
If a deal is struck, Smith would play the character of father whose children develop a bond with an amiable elephant after an encounter with the animal at the circus.
