Actor Kangana Ranaut visited Siddhpeeth Shri Dakshin Kali Mandir in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, to offer prayers. During her visit, she reacted to the ongoing 'The Kerala Story' controversy and said the Sudipto Sen directorial should not be opposed.
'Banning a film which has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) amounts to insulting the constitution. The ban on ‘The Kerala Story’ by some states is not correct,' Kangana Ranaut said.
West Bengal government imposed a ban on 'The Kerala Story' to avoid tension among communities on May 8. In Tamil Nadu, theatres decided to stop the film's screening, citing the law-and-order situation and a poor audience turnout.
The Supreme Court stayed the West Bengal government’s order banning the film in the state last week and asked Tamil Nadu to ensure the safety of cinemagoers.
'The Kerala Story' has earned Rs 200 crore at the box office.
