The trailer of upcoming Islamophobic film ‘The Kerala Story’ changed figures from 32,000 to only three women after receiving a huge amount of blacklash.
After facing the huge blacklash nationwide and across the border for such Islamophobic movie, the trailer of the upcoming Indian film changed the number from 32,000 to the story of three women from the Indian state of Kerala, who were allegedly lured by Muslim youth to convert to Islam and were then taken to Afghanistan to join the militant Islamist group, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Since The trailer was released, the political parties of the Indian state, both in government and in opposition, called out the makers for ‘gross exaggeration’ and even demanded a ban on film screening.
Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor, who earlier objected to the distortion of figures in the film, reacted to this change, tweeting, “The plot thickens. The filmmakers have updated the movie’s description on YouTube and changed ‘32,000 women’ to ‘3 women’. Earlier, they said the movie is about the “heartbreaking and gut-wrenching stories of 32,000 females in Kerala”. Now it says: “The Kerala Story is a compilation of the true stories of three young girls from different parts of Kerala”. I rest my case.”
