Amid the controversy around the film ‘The Kerala Story’, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Tuesday organised a special screening of the movie for girls in Jammu.
“The movie has been organised for awareness of girls in Jammu,” Working President of VHP Rajesh Gupta said. Meanwhile, the girls who had come to watch the movie doubled down the VHP’s stand that everyone should watch the movie.
Earlier on May 10, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), wrote a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to make ‘The Kerala Story’ tax-free in the Union Territory.
Helmed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film has triggered a massive political row with various leaders reacting to the upcoming movie.
The controversy surrounding the film started when its trailer claimed that 32,000 women from Kerala had gone missing and joined the militant group ISIS. This statement triggered a heated political debate and many leaders questioned the veracity of the claim.
“The Kerala Story” stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani in the lead roles. Faced with backlash the makers then withdrew the figure and called the movie the story of three women from Kerala, in its trailer description. (ANI)
