It's no news that The Kerala Story 2 has been embroiled in a controversy ever since the early visuals of the film were released. As the legal row continues, the Kerala HC has now halted the release of the film, causing hinderance in its initially planned February 27 release. Amid the ongoing controversy, mid-day got in touch with Sumit Gahlawat, one of the antagonists, who plays the role of Salim in the film, to understand what it is like in the camp.

Sumit Gahlawat breaks silence on The Kerala Story 2 controversy

"On this, I would just like to say that it is a little sad that the work of actors gets overshadowed because of the controversy. Because we also work very hard. And I would just say that people should talk about actors more about the work of actors rather than other stuff. I hope at least after the release of the film, people talk about how the actors have done their work. Be it good or bad, but it's better if people talk about the actors."
