Director Kamakhya Narayan Singh and producer Vipul Shah vehemently defended their upcoming film The Kerala Story 2 while promoting it

The makers of The Kerala Story 2, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah and director Kamakhya Narayan Singh, held a press conference in Delhi to promote their upcoming film. At the conference, they introduced 30 women who have allegedly gone through forced Islamic conversions. However, the filmmakers soon found themselves in an argument with the media after it was alleged that their film was ‘insulting’ the state.None of the 30 victims present were from Kerala

At the press conference, the victims Vipul and Narayan presented to the press were from Bengal, Bihar, Bhilwada, Gangapur, Rajkot, Udaipur, Jammu, Maharashtra, Bhopal, Jharkhand, Faridabad, Meerut, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and Indore. When the reporters questioned them why there was not a single Malayali victim present, Vipul said, “We brought those who suffered from Kerala after Kerala Story 1. The video is still available on YouTube.”

He added, “Had we brought them again, you would have said we brought the same people. You can’t argue both sides.” When the reporters asked how the film’s story was different from the first one, Narayan claimed, “No, it’s the same story. This is a pan-India story.” Narayan also argued that the film had nothing to do with the Kerala elections and was not political, while Vipul said, “Aapko isko masala dena hai, aap dijiye please. (You add spice to it if you want).”Makers claim being blind to issue is destroying Kerala

When the reporters then asked why the film was named only after Kerala if the film was about issues across the country, Narayan replied, “No, it’s related to Kerala also. And from Kerala, how it is all over India. The first time we made this story, people said this is only Kerala’s story. We now want to show that this happens across the country, not just Kerala.”
