The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a plea seeking a stay on release of the movie 'The Kerala Story' on grounds that its a "worst kind of hate speech" and an "audio-visual propaganda".

A bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna was told by senior advocate Kapil Sibal and advocate Nizam Pasha that the trailer of the movie, which is scheduled to be released on Friday, has garnered 16 million views.
