Apparently, the producer/director has been denied permission by the Animal Welfare Board to use rodents in his film
Rakesh Roshan's upcoming film Krissh 3, which is currently under production was denied permission by the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) to include rats in one of the scenes. The board has also sought an explanation for scorpions and frogs that were found misused earlier on their sets.
In the application made by them, Roshan's production house sought permission to include five rats. This was for a scene in which the artiste would keep all these animals and insects in a lab because he is shown to be an animal lover in the film.
However, AWBI denied the application late last month. And instead, they asked the applicant to explain about the snakes, scorpions, frogs and other creatures that were seen loitering around on the sets.
It was recently reported that the script of the film demanded real reptiles rather than animated versions. Hrithik Roshan had assured that the reptiles would not harm others or get harmed, as there were trained professionals to look after them.
The other side
When we tried contacting Major General R M Kharb, the chairman of AWBI, he was unavailable for comment.
