The
kerala Story, a film by
producer vipul shah, has been outlawed in West
bengal, according to
chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
adah Sharma's
movie debuted in theatres on Friday, May 5, but it was met with intense backlash and numerous petitions against it. Following protests in a few locations, including Chennai, multiplexes in
tamil Nadu stopped showing The
kerala Story the day before Banerjee made her declaration.
Mamata Banerjee was quoted by the
news agency ANI as saying, "The West
bengal government has decided to outlaw the film The
kerala Story. This will prevent any acts of hatred and violence and keep the state calm. In The
kerala Story, a Hindu woman from
kerala who converts to
islam and is then sold to the Islamic State of
iraq and
syria (ISIS) is the main character.
A number of political parties and organizations have criticized The
kerala Story, alleging that it is not factually accurate and incites animosity towards the Muslim community.
vipul shah responded to Banerjee's choice by saying, "If that's what she did, we'll file a lawsuit. We shall fight to the fullest extent permitted by the law.
In addition to
adah sharma, the lead parts in The
kerala Story also go to Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and
sonia Balani. The
movie has been regarded as "propaganda" by many spectators.
adah sharma recently responded appropriately to
people who called The
kerala Story a "propaganda" film on her
twitter account. She referred to her film as "real" and advised everyone to look up "ISIS" and "Brides" on
google to learn the reality.
