Sudipto Sen, director of The Kerala Story, recently criticised the latest sequel. The filmmaker slammed the research and claimed that the film was based on WhatsApp forwards. Although the director later clarified his remarks, saying they had been misconstrued, Vipul Amrutlal Shah, producer of The Kerala Story 2, has now reacted strongly to the criticism.

Vipul Amrutlal Shah hits back at Sudipto Sen

During a recent interview with India Today, Vipul opened up about Sudipto Sen's criticism and said, “I would say grapes are sour. To be very honest, I have never spoken about this, but I would like to put it to rest. He had written a script for The Kerala Story 2, which was absolutely trash. I did not want to make that film, and that is why I went ahead with [The Kerala Story 2 director] Kamakhya [Narayan Singh].”
