‘The Kerala Story’ producer Vipul Shah on Friday said they are happy that none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vindicated their stand that the film is against terrorism𝐆 and not any community.
In a ral𒊎ly in Karnataka's Ballari, the PM referenced the film in his speech and said, it "is under discussion these days; it is sꦏaid the film reveals terror conspiracies in that State."
Shah, who has produ🐷ced the film and also serves as a creative director, said he is elated that the Kerala High Court refused to stay the𝔍 film's release on Friday.
&quo꧟t;What more can we ask on a day when first in the morning, the Kerala High Court gives such a lovely judgment and none other than the honorable Prime Minister talks about our film and he highlights the issue that we are trying to highlight through the film.
"We have been saying this is a film against terror, ter♛rorism, it is not against any community, religion and that stand is vindicated by none other than the honorable Prime Minister," Sha🦩h told PTI.
The filmmaker said the court's order is an answer to everybody who was trying toဣ target us" and tell us that "we have made this film under some kind of agenda".
The HC refused to s🍸tay the release of the film and 𒊎said the trailer does not contain anything offensive to any particular community as a whole.
A bench of Justices N Nagaresh an♓d Sophy Thomas noted the submission made by the producers stating that they do not intend to retain an "offending teaser" which contained a statement that "32,000 women" from Kerala were converted and joined a terrorist organisation.
The Kerala High Court also noted that the producers have published a disclaimer along with the movie which specifically says that the fi𓃲lm is a dramatised version of events and doesn't claim accuracy or factuality of histဣoric events.
"The Kerala Story" is getting a good ♋response from the audience, claimed Shah.
"Today, the film opened to an unprecedented record-breaking collection and the trend is only becoming bigger by the passing hour.🧔 So, we are not able to predict where it will stop and where the number will be on day one. The♓ nation is supporting the film, the nation is supporting the cause that we were trying to raise," he said.
'The Kerala Story' starring Adah Sharma was released in cinemas on Friday and was initially portrayed as "unearౠthing" the events beh🍎ind "approximately 32,000 women" allegedly going missing from Kerala.
Accordi𝔉ng to the CPI(M) and the Congress in Kerala, the film falsely claims that 32,000 women got converted and radicalised and were deployed in terror missions in India and the world.
