Bollywood Stars Call for End to Use of Live Elephants in Film Production

Leading actors from India's Bollywood film industry are demanding an end to the use of live elephants in movie productions. The stars argue that modern technology, including computer-generated effects, robotic replicas, and artificial intelligence, can effectively replace real animals in filmmaking. The campaign reflects growing concerns about animal welfare in the entertainment industry, as advocates push for alternatives that would eliminate the need to use live elephants, which can face stress and potential harm during film shoots.
