4 Mar
Summary
- Producer Vipul Shah denied director Sudipto Sen's research allegations.
- Shah stated Sen's script for the sequel was 'absolute trash'.
- Film's certification was secured prior to legal challenges.
Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah has directly addressed and dismissed criticisms from former collaborator Sudipto Sen concerning "The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond." Sen had publicly questioned the film's research, which Shah vehemently denied, suggesting Sen's remarks stemmed from personal disappointment. Shah revealed that Sen had previously written a script for the sequel that was considered unusable, leading to the involvement of a different director.
Shah emphasized that Sen was not privy to the research conducted for the current sequel and therefore lacked the standing to critique it. He stated his reluctance to comment on such matters unless his film was attacked. Furthermore, Shah clarified the film's certification process, asserting that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) clearance was obtained before any legal proceedings commenced, underscoring the CBFC's unquestionable authority.
Despite ongoing disputes over its research and legal scrutiny, "The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond" has been released in Indian theaters. The film has achieved a box office collection exceeding Rs 15 crore within its initial five days of release, indicating audience engagement amidst the controversy.
