The Kerala Story is 'a must watch' film, says Khushbu Sundar

Khushbu Sundar, the actor-turned-politician, has backed "The Kerala Story" movie amidst the raging political controversy surrounding the film. Khushbu Sundar said that "The Kerala Story" is a "must watch" film.

"Wonder what scares those who are fighting to ban #TheKeralaStory," she posted on her twitter. Khushbu Sundar claimed that let people decided whether they want to watch "The Kerala Story" or not.

"The blatantly told truth or the fear of realising of being part of the truth, unknowingly & silently for years. Let people decide what they want to watch. You cannot decide for others," Khushbu Sundar tweeted.




Khushbu Sundar also blamed Tamil Nadu government after theatres in the state had stopped the screening of "The Kerala Story" from May 7. "TN govt gives lame reasons to cancel the shows. Thank you for letting people know that it's a must watch film. #TheKeralaStoryAMustWatch," Khushbu Sundar tweeted.

President of Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association, M Subramaniam, popularly known as Tiruppur Subramaniam, confirmed the news that the few multiplexes that had shown the film had decided to withdraw it.

"The film was only shown in a few multiplexes owned by pan-India groups, mostly PVR. Locally-owned multiplexes had already decided not to show the film, as it did not have any popular stars. In Coimbatore for instance, there were two shows so far -- one on Friday and one on Saturday. Even those did not do well. Given that, theatres decided that it was not worth going through the threat of protests and such," added Subramaniam.

Earlier on May 4, the Madras High Court had dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a ban on 'The Kerala Story'. A division bench of the court said the matter had already been handled by the Supreme Court and the Kerala High Court. The PIL was filed by city-based journalist-activist B R Aravindakshan.
