In the teaser – for an upcoming movie called The Kerala Story – an actress claims her character is one among 32,000 women from the state who were “converted” into Islamic terrorists. The Kerala Story: 32,000 Kerala women in ISIS, Demand for the ban movie.
The Kerala Police Chief has directed registration of a case following a complaint against Sudipto Sen’s movie ‘The Kerala Story,’ which claims that 32,000 women from the state were forcibly converted and recruited to the terror outfit Islamic State.
Source in Kerala Police Headquarters confirmed that State Police Chief (SPC) Anil Kant on Tuesday directed the Thiruvananthapuram city police Commissioner to register a case and look into the complaint by a Tamil Nadu-based journalist.
The complaint was sent to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan who forwarded the same to the DGP for appropriate action, the source said. The top police official, thereafter, directed the hi-tech crime inquiry cell of the police to conduct a probe and submit a report, the source said.
Talking about the film, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah earlier said, “This story is a human tragedy, one that will shake you to the core. When Sudipto came and narrated it to me along with his research of over 3-4 years, I was in tears in the first meeting itself.
That was the very day I decided to make this film. I am glad that we are now progressing with the film and we hope to make a very real, unbiased and true narrative of events.” Rajya Sabha member John Brittas has written to Union home minister Amit Shah urging action against the teaser of Sudipto Sen’s movie ‘The Kerala Story’.
As it “severely threatens harmony, secularism and national unity apart from defaming Kerala.” In the letter to Shah, Brittas said that the widely-circulated teaser that claims to be depicting the story of 32,000 women from Kerala “is absolutely rubbish and fallacious.”
He noted with concern that the teaser may topple down the public tranquillity and the secular fabric of the Nation and intended to defame Kerala. “As per a recent investigation, since 2009 – nearly 32,000 girls from Kerala and Mangalore from Hindu and Christian communities have been converted to Islam.

And most of them end up landing in Syria, Afghanistan, and other ISIS and Haqqani influential areas! Despite accepting these facts, the government is hardly contemplating any definitive action plan against such huge international conspiracies led by ISIS-influenced groups,” he shared.
