The Kerala Story released on May 5 and has been banned in some states in the country
The Producers Guild of India has issued a statement objecting to the ban declared on The Kerala Story by various states. This comes a day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee decided to ban the movie, citing "threat to law and order in the state". Banerjee on Monday ordered an immediate ban on the screening of the controversial film to avoid any incident of hatred and violence.
The Vipul Shah-produced film`s reception in the very state that it is based on has also not been welcoming. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan issued a statement against the film before its release. Several multiplexes withdrew screenings of the film before its release on Friday, May 5.
