Kamakhya Narain Singh and Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s upcoming film, The Kerala Story 2, has sparked widespread criticism after its trailer dropped.

The Kerala Story 2, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, is all set to release in theatres on February 27. Ever since the trailer for The Kerala Story 2 dropped, the film has sparked polarising reactions. In one scene, one of the protagonists was seen being fed beef forcefully by a Muslim family. Now, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has reacted to the film and called it ‘propaganda’.

What Anurag said about The Kerala Story 2

Anurag Kashyap has said The Kerala Story is a 'bakwaas' movie.

Anurag, who was in Kochi to attend the Filmfare Awards South, was questioned by the paparazzi whether he has seen the trailer of The Kerala Story 2. He replied, "The Kerala Story is s*** movie. It is bull**** propaganda. Total bull****. Aisa kaun beef khilata hai? Aisa koi khichdi bhi nahi khilata hai (Who feeds someone beef like this? No one is fed even khichdi in this manner). Bakwaas (nonsense) picture. It is called crap.”

In a statement to HT, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah had said that the film is based on true cases from the Indian legal system. “When we make a film like The Kerala Story: Goes Beyond, we wanted it to become more representative of our all-India situation. And hence, the three stories that we selected, we could not just tell their stories. We have taken many incidents from other girls' lives and made them part of their stories. As a result, it's a story of three girls, but it also has a reflection of a lot of other stories in it,” Shah had said.
