Helmed by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story claims to portray the story of some women from the state who were converted to Islam and recruited by the terror outfit ISIS.
Citing the law and order situation and the poor performance of The Kerala Story, the multiplex theatres in Tamil Nadu have decided to halt the screenings of the movie from Sunday.
The political party Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) in Tamil Nadu staged a protest against The Kerala Story in Chennai on Saturday. The protestors raised slogans and held placards demanding a ban on the film.
The Kerala Story was earlier officially described as the story of more than 32,000 Kerala women who’d allegedly been radicalised by Islamic fundamentalists. However, the number was changed to three.
