Denying the allegation that there is a “shadow ban” on The Kerala Story across Tamil Nadu, the state government has told the Supreme Court that these are just “false and sweeping allegations” with “malafide intentions” for publicity.
According to a LiveLaw report, the government filed an affidavit stating that theatre owners voluntarily stopped the film’s screening from May 7 over “the criticism received by the film, lack of well-known actors, poor performance and poor audience response”. It said the film was released in 19 multiplexes on May 5 and no order was issued to ban the screening.
