The movie Kerala story is becoming a big controversy. The Government of Tamilnadu has stopped the screening of this movie. Many multiplexes are not taking this movie for screening.
The actors of the movie feel that the plight of the women has been highlighted. Producer Vipul Shah opined that this is a bold and real film. He is getting ready for all the legal issues.
Director Sudipto clarifies that it has nothing to do with religion and is dealing with human tragedy.
The whole controversy is about the figure of 32 thousand. The film’s teaser claimed that 32,000 women from Kerala were forcibly converted to Islam, who later joined the terrorist group ISIS.
Sudipto Sen, the director said that “ In the year 2010, the then Kerala CM Oommen Chandy had placed a report before the assembly. He said that every year around 2,800 to 3,200 girls are converted to Islam.
Just calculate the next 10 years from this. This number will come near about 30 to 32 thousand” said Sudipto. Keeping in mind the growing controversy over the figures here, the filmmaker took a U-turn.
When the trailer of the film was released on May 1, 2023, it was changed. Where earlier 32,000 women were said to have been forcibly converted, now the new version says that three women were brainwashed and converted. After which they were sent on terrorist missions.
the censor board has given permission to release the film ‘The Kerala Story’ with an ‘A’ certificate, but before that it has also cut 10 scenes from the film, including the interview of a former Chief Minister of Kerala.
