Leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi has sparked controversy after remarking that 'nobody is really watching' The Kerala Story 2. The film, released in February, has left audiences divided. In a statement posted on X, Rahul claimed that the majority of people in the country understand what Kerala is and appreciate its traditions and culture.
The Congress leader also accused the media of being 'weaponised' to vilify people, alienate communities, and create divisions in society.
However, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari's wife, Surbhi Tiwari, has defended the film, calling it a 'mirror to society'. She urged people to watch the movie and then make their own judgment about whether it is propaganda or a reflection of reality.
The Kerala Story 2 is a sequel to Sudipto Sen's 2023 film and stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha as three women who become victims of an abusive plot after marrying outside their religion.
