The Kerala Story Controversy: The controversy regarding the film The Kerala Story is still going on. Many people are telling it the real story, while many are terming this film as a means of spreading hatred. Some states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have made the film tax-free, while the government of West Bengal has banned The Kerala Story. In the midst of all this, now the big actor of Malayalam films, Tovino Thomas, has openly spoken against the film.
Tovino Thomas is currently in Mumbai for the promotion of his film 2018. Last day he spoke on The Kerala Story. Tovino Thomas said that I have not seen this film, nor have I talked to any person who has seen the film. But I am wondering how suddenly the description of the film was changed from 32 thousand women to 3 women.
Tovino Thomas raised this question
During this, Tovino Thomas raised the question that why the figure of 32 thousand was used in the beginning itself? Whereas everyone knew that this is a fake number. Many big names have come forward in support and opposition to the Kerala story. People like Shabana Azmi and Anurag Kashyap have spoken against banning this controversial film. At the same time, some stars including Anupam Kher and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri have been seen standing with the film.
'Such an incident must have happened but I don't know'
Tovino Thomas says that about 35 million people live in Kerala. But you cannot generalize just from these three incidents. He said that it may have happened in Kerala, but I do not know about it.
At the time of the release of the film The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, the makers told the story of the disappearance of 32,000 non-Muslim girls. However, when the matter went to the court, the producer of Adah Sharma starrer film had asked to remove the mention of 32,000 girls from the description. The story of three girls has also been shown in the film.
