Reports are that ace director Karan Johar has been issued a legal notice by an NGO working for the welfare of animals.
The NGO named People In Defence For Animals (PIDA) has issued a legal notice to Karan for the alleged use of wild animals in his next film, Kaal, being directed by his assistant Soham Shah.
The notice alleges that tigers, lions, pythons, owls and monkeys have been handled in a cruel manner, and without obtaining prior permission from the Animal Welfare Board of India.
One of the major highlights of the film is an item number featuring SRK and Malaika Arora .
This report of Karan being sued, if true, comes as a surprise, because the producer-director is known to be a thorough professional. He had taken permission from the composers of the song ‘Pretty Woman’ to use it in his superhit Kal Ho Na Ho .
