Dwayne Johnson is feeling the love given by the audience to his new movie 'Jumanji

As per a video posted by the actor on his official Instagram page, the actor is "blown away" by the positive reactions to 'Jumanji' reboot.

The 45-year-old actor feels "grateful" and overwhelmed by the feedback he has received from fans about his latest project, which sees him portray Doctor Smolder Bravestone in the fantasy action movie, alongside Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black.

Alongside the video, he wrote, "Grateful and blown away by your reactions after watching #JUMANJI. I wanted to make a fun Christmas movie for generations of families to enjoy around the world. I also wanted to make a movie for all the lovers out there. When the sun goes down, the sexy smoldering eyebrow goes up when you see the movie. Yup, nine months from now they'll all be delivered #JumanjiBabies. Enjoy the movie!"

In the video, 'The Rock' is seen saying that he wanted the production to be a "fun Christmas movie" that will be a timeless classic for families worldwide, like the 1995 classic starring the late Robin Williams has become.

The muscular hunk has also dedicated the new release to "all the lovers out there", and he hopes it will cause a baby boom.

"The biggest weekend of 2017 is among us, we have Christmas weekend, we have Jumanji weekend, Christmas and Jumanji all wrapped up in one. I want to say guys thank you so, so much," noted Johnson.

The movie is scheduled for a December 29 release in India.
