After tigers, is it camels now?

Tigers, Tara and Sherkhan created more noise than John, Vivek and Ajay put together. Kaal gave its producers a lot of heartburn ever since it went on floors. Some time back PIDA threatened to take them to court for violating Animal Welfare guidelines and now the Supreme Court has once again bought a stay order on the film on the charges of alleged mistreatment of tigers. While the case is still being tossed around, here's something amusing…
Shahrukh Khan's Paheli walks on the wild side too and its camels this time around. The film apparently has the longest camel race ever shot. When asked about his experience of the film, Shahrukh was heard saying, “Shooting for Paheli was great but I didn't have a very good time shooting with the camels. For all the compassion I have for animals, camels are by far the toughest creatures to shoot.” he quipped. “You ask them to turn, they won't. Because camels don't turn, they simply keep running. You instruct them to sit, they don't. Because camels don't sit, they keep standing & grazing all day long. You tell them something and they do the exact opposite!” he smiled.
Shahrukh, Kaal isn't far behind you, hope you treated the humped beauties with all the respect one can afford. And don't get too cheeky about the whole episode; PIDA officials have already issued notice against alleged mistreatment of the sultans of sand.
