The Uttaranchal government's Chief Wildlife Conservator Srikant Chandola today ruled out the possibility of the use of the state's wild animals in the controversial Karan Johar film 'Kaal'.

The state government is yet to receive a notice from the Supreme court on the use of wild animals in the film, Mr Chandola told.

It is not possible to use wild animals without any training in films and there is no system of training them in the state, he said adding that the state government has already prepared its reply in anticipation of a notice from the Apex court.

The shooting of 'Kaal' was permitted in accordance with the Indian Wildlife Act and was within the legal power entrusted to the state government and the Centre has no role to play in this, he added.

He said that with the object of encouraging the shooting of films in the vast forests of Uttaranchal the state governemnt had also come out with a notification in the year 2002 as a result of which the forest department was earning around Rs 2 crores annually.

He said that 'Kaal' was shot at the Jim Corbett National park and the administration followed the rules strictly.

Mr Chandola added that the state government on its part has also videographed the entire shooting at Corbett park.
