‘The Kerala Story’: Adah Sharma thanks fans for making the movie trend; see post

Sudipto Sen’s controversial film ‘The Kerala Story’ is doing wonders at the box office despite facing massive backlash from various political parties. Now, Adah Sharma, the lead actor in the movie, has thanked fans for making the film ‘trend’.

She tweeted, ‘Thank you to all the crores of you who are going to watch our film, thank you for making it trend, thank you for loving my performance. This weekend the 12th #TheKeralaStory releases internationally in 37 countries (or more) #adahsharma.’

Besides Adah, the movie also stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani.

‘The Kerala Story’ has been embroiled in controversy ever since the release of its trailer. The movie initially claimed that 32,000 women from Kerala had gone missing and joined the terrorist group ISIS. However, after facing protests, the figure in the trailer was later withdrawn and changed to a story of three women from Kerala.

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has banned the film in the state citing ‘maintenance of peace’ and to avoid incidents of ‘violence’. Political outcry around the movie continues even as it has been made tax-free in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana.
