Days before its release, The Kerala Story has landed in trouble. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan slammed the upcoming Hindi film, starring Adah Sharma, which is based on love jihad, terming it a part of Sangh Parivar propaganda aimed at political gains. Vijayan said that the movie was created to demonise Kerala and to communally divide the state. “From the trailer, it can be gathered that the movie has taken up the Sangh Parivar propaganda that positions an uncompromisingly secular land like Kerala as a hot bed of terrorists. The central theme of the movie, love jihad is a conspiracy which has been rejected by the investigating agencies, the court and even the Union Home Ministry,” he said. According to the trailer, the film revolves around Hindu girls who were allegedly brainwashed, converted, and recruited to Islamic State and taken to places like Afghanistan and Syria. As per the trailer, as many as 32,000 Hindu girls were converted and taken to the ISIS dens.
