ANUPAM KHER ON ‘THE KERALA STORY’ BEING CALLED A PROPAGANDA FILM

The Kerala Story‘, starring Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani, has been supported by the likes of Anupam Kher and Kangana Ranaut. On Monday, Kher, while speaking to the media, reacted strongly to the criticism and ban on the film. He recalled the time when his film ‘The Kashmir Files‘ was declared a propaganda film. The popular actor said, “They are the same faces who are opposing such films and they can be seen everywhere. Be it CAA protest or Shaheen Bagh protest or JNU protest. They were the same faces who criticised ‘The Kashmir Files’. I don’t know their motive, and neither do I believe in paying attention towards them. In fact, they have become redundant. Again, I would say they are the same faces”.

Meanwhile, Vipul Shah, who has also been credited as the creative director of the film, said he would take legal action against the ban on his film in West Bengal. Addressing the reports on Monday, he said, “If that is what she has done, we will take legal action. Whatever is possible under the provisions of law, we will fight”.
