The Kerala Story 2
After leaving an indelible mark on audiences across the country, The Kerala Story returns with a powerful new chapter titled The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond. The hard-hitting trailer was unveiled a few days back, and it has sparked debate. Now, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has strongly criticised the trailer, alleging that the film promotes hatred and spreads false propaganda against the state. Calling it an attack on Kerala’s secular fabric, Vijayan urged people to reject such films.
In a statement released by his office, Vijayan said, “The release of a second part of ‘The Kerala Story’, which was made with the agenda of spreading hatred against Kerala and insulting our secular traditions, should be seen seriously.”
