Desperate producer of Kerala Story appeals – cannot fight with goons, Supreme Court should take action if its order is not followed

Vipul Amrutlal Shah, producer of the blockbuster hit film ‘The Kerala Story’ at the box office, has said that all legal measures have been taken to screen the film. However, he will not be able to fight the goons on the streets. This film, which narrates the story of making Hindu girls victims of love jihad, converting them, pushing them into the business of terror and making them victims of cruelty, has broken countless records in a short span of time. The film has been banned in many states, while it has been made tax-free in many states ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The film has got the green signal from the court.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud also directed the Tamil Nadu government to make all security arrangements for the screening of the film and to ensure the safety of movie goers. The bench said that it is the duty of the state government to maintain law and order as the film has been certified by the CBFC. Vipul was asked if he would do anything to insure the screening of the film.

What did Vipul Amrutlal Shah say in response?
So in response the producer of The Kerala Story said in a conversation with DNA, “We have done whatever we can say under the law. Nothing is above the Supreme Court in this country. Now we will request the Supreme Court to Take suo moto action against these governments and ensure that they are punished so severely that no one does such a thing in the future.” Vipul Shah said, “The ban has been lifted by the Supreme Court. We will not be able to hit the streets and fight the goons of these parties.”

West Bengal government had given this argument
Let us tell you that while banning ‘The Kerala Story’, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee termed the film as a ‘distorted story’. The state government had argued that they had done so to maintain peace and harmony in the state. The film was banned under Section 6 of the West Bengal Cinema (Regulation) Act, which states that if the state is of the opinion that any film publicly screened is likely to cause a breach of the peace, the film may be suspended or may be banned.
