After Controversial Teaser, Adah Sharma's The Kerala Story To Release On This Date

Adah Sharma will star in The Kerala Story, which will debut in theatres on May 5. A truly hard-hitting tale concerning the international terrorist group ISIS is what The Kerala Story aims to convey.

The makers claim that The Kerala Story reveals the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of 32,000 women from Kerala in southern India, who were later radicalised, converted and used in terror attacks across India and the rest of the world.

Sunshine Pictures Private Limited, which Vipul Amrutlal Shah created and who also serves as the film's producer, creative director, and co-writer, is the company backing The Kerala Story. Sudipto Sen, famed for films including Aasma, Lucknow Times, and The Last Monk, wrote and directed the movie.

The end of 2022 saw the release of The Kerala Story's teaser, which sparked controversy due to claims that the movie depicted false events. In a conversation with Mid-Day at the time, Shah responded to the situation and stated that they were working on a movie about an enormous tragedy. He continued by saying that if he feels compelled to convey this tale as a filmmaker, then any discussion of whether he supports the status quo or not will simply represent one person's viewpoint. As a director, he only considers stories that move him deeply enough to desire to tell them.

According to the most recent statement from the producers, the film, which was directed by award-winning filmmaker Sudipto Sen, tells the heartbreaking story of women who fall victim to a conspiracy that isn't just limited to Kerala or India. The director had previously stated that it was his patriotic duty to expose the way in which thousands of girls were converted and trafficked abroad.
