The West Bengal chief minister said Monday that the film The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, would be banned in the state. Since the trailer was released, the film has been mired in debate. The video received backlash as it falsely claimed that 32,000 females in Kerala disappeared after joining ISIS.
The government of West Bengal has made the decision to censor the film The Kerala Story. Mamta Banerjee said this was necessary to prevent acts of violence and keep calm in the state.
The Kashmir Files? What is it?” The aim is to put down one group. What exactly happens in The Kerala Story?”It’s a twisted tale,” she continued.
The film’s producer, Vipul Shah, has threatened legal action if that is really what she has done. After Banerjee declared the ban on the film, the government promised to “do whatever is possible within the provisions of the law to fight.”
The film’s main female characters are played by Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani. The film, directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, was at the center of a heated political debate.
The Kerala High Court previously remarked that a disclaimer stating that the film is a fictionalized and dramatized rendition of real events had been issued with the film. The disclaimer also made clear that the video makes no claims about the veracity of the events shown.
