Kerala Story 2 Sparks Fresh Controversy After Court Notice Over Certification & Content Concerns <\/p>\n

Vipul Shah on \u2018The Kerala Story 2\u2019<\/p>\n

Talking to India Today, Shah said, \u201cI would say grapes are sour. To be very honest, I have never spoken about this, but I would like to put it to rest. He had written a script about The Kerala Story 2, which was absolute trash. And I did not want to make that film, and that is why I went ahead with [The Kerala Story 2 director] Kamakhya [Narayan Singh]. He doesn\u2019t even know what research we have done. He was not part of the entire research process. So, how can he make those comments? I don\u2019t usually comment but when somebody attacks my film, that is when I\u2019m compelled to react. Otherwise, I don\u2019t like to react. The film was released, and I know of these statements that he\u2019s made, they\u2019re baseless. That\u2019s all I can say\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Kerala Story 2\u2019 CBFC clearance<\/p>\n

Besides the creative clash, the film has drawn queries on its approval from the Central Board of Film Certification<\/a> (CBFC). Shah rejected claims that the clearance followed legal issues or was changed due to court cases. “No, the certification of the film was done way before the case was filed, and that is exactly how the film has stayed. Whatever happened in the first court, the second court recognised the right of CBFC and their authority on certifying a film. So that first judgement is now of no consequence in this matter. CBFC\u2019s right and the authority to certify the film is unquestionable,” Shah revealed.<\/p>\n
