Prakash Raj Taunts Film Makers
Actor Prakash Raj indirectly targeted the film’s makers by sharing a picture of a plate adorned with pork, beef, and fish on social media.
Along with the picture, he wrote that the real picture of Kerala is that dishes like pork, beef, and fish coexist with vegetarian food, and everyone lives in mutual harmony. He appealed to people to enjoy this diversity and also wished everyone a happy Sunday.
Anurag Kashyap Also Raised Objection
Before this controversy, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap had also reacted strongly to the trailer of ‘The Kerala Story 2’. He made sharp remarks about the film, calling it nonsensical and propaganda.
Kashyap questioned that the scene shown in the trailer seems beyond reality. According to him, it is not clear what the purpose of the film’s makers is by showing such scenes. He alleged that such films create division in society and are made only for commercial gain.
Kerala Chief Minister Also Raised Objection
Before actor Prakash Raj and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, Pinarayi Vijayan had also expressed displeasure over the trailer of ‘The Kerala Story 2’.
The very next day after the trailer was released, the Chief Minister criticized the film’s makers in his social media reaction. He called it a hate-mongering film and said that given the controversies surrounding the first part, its sequel should be taken seriously. According to him, the state will not accept any attempt to harm Kerala’s secular image.
The Chief Minister also said that efforts to create division or tension in society should be opposed collectively, and the truth ultimately comes out.
