According to
recent news from the Mumbai Police, a crew member working on the film titled
'The Kerala Story' has encountered a distressing situation. The individual
received a menacing message from an unidentified sender, leaving the recipient
feeling threatened and concerned.
Sudipto Sen, the director of the film, alerted the police about the incident. According to the police, the message warned the crew member against leaving their home alone and criticized them for showcasing the story.
As a
precautionary measure, the police have provided security to the crew member.
However, an official complaint has not been filed yet, and therefore, no First
Information Report (FIR) has been registered.
The government of
West Bengal, led by the Trinamool Congress, has recently imposed a ban on the
movie titled 'The Kerala Story.' The rationale behind this decision is to
uphold peace and avoid instances of animosity and aggression within the state.
This decision
makes West Bengal the first state to impose a ban on the film. 'The Kerala
Story' presents the distressing accounts of three women who undergo the
traumatic ordeal of being trafficked to camps associated with ISIS following
their conversion to Islam as a result of marriage.
The movie has
been at the center of a political controversy, even though it has been granted
tax-free status in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-governed state of Madhya
Pradesh. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee explained that the ban was
implemented to prevent any potential escalation of hatred and violence and to
maintain peace in the state.
In response, Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film's producer, stated that they would explore legal options against the ban if necessary, seeking legal advice before taking any further steps.
Sudipto Sen
helmed the movie "The Kerala Story," with Vipul Amrutlal Shah serving
as the producer. However, Pinarayi Vijayan, the Chief Minister of Kerala,
expressed strong opposition to the film, deeming it as "propaganda aligned
with the RSS."
The film faced
increased controversy when its trailer made a bold assertion that 32,000 women
hailing from Kerala had disappeared and become affiliated with ISIS. However,
due to widespread protests, this contentious figure was later removed from the
trailer.
The situation
remains tense as the movie's fate hangs in the balance, awaiting a formal
complaint from the crew member to initiate legal proceedings. The filmmakers
and producers are determined to fight against the ban and uphold their artistic
expression, considering all available legal options.
