The producer praised Kerala, and Vipul said, “Neither our film, nor I, nor anyone in my team is against the state of Kerala or the people of Kerala. Kerala is a beautiful place, a God-loving country, but if something wrong is happening in this God-loving country, it is our endeavour to bring it to the notice of the people and correct it. I promise you that if you watch the film, you will understand that we have not said anything negative about Kerala or its people in this film.”

He added, “This film exposes some criminals. Some criminals live in Kerala, some are from Madhya Pradesh, some are from Rajasthan, and that’s why we named this film The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond, I assure them that when you watch the film, you’ll realise we’re not portraying Kerala in a negative light at all.”

Latest Order Of The Kerala HC

On Friday, the Kerala High Court cleared the way for the film’s release by staying the single-judge order that had halted the movie’s screening for 15 days. A bench comprising justices Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and P V Balakrishnan issued the interim order late Thursday night on an appeal filed by Vipul, just hours after the initial stay on the film’s release.

The bench stated that the single judge’s conclusion—that the guidelines for certification had not been considered by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)—was “merely based on a few clippings and without viewing the movie,” and thus “cannot be countenanced.”
