Director Pooja Bhatt and the star cast of "Jism 2" have written a letter to Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan requesting him to ban the use of horse-drawn carriages in the city.

The "Jism 2" team, including Sunny Leone, Arunoday Singh, Dino Morea, Arko Pravo Mukerjee, have teamed up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to fight for the cause.

"Forcing horses to haul carriages in Mumbai, where they create a traffic nuisance, is inherently cruel; horses routinely collapse, and people have died from the accidents the horses cause. It is high time to put horse carriages out to pasture for good," the letter read.
