Kangana Ranaut Pulls Down Aamir Khan While Lifting Up Shabana Azmi¡¯s Views On The Kerala Story

Sudipto Sen¡¯s The Kerala Story has taken over the country by storm. The film depicts the story of three girls who are conspired against their nation and religion and are made to join the terrorist clan ISIS. As the film continues to roar in theatres, several people are seeking a ban on this alleged propaganda-based story.

Actress Shabana Azmi took to Twitter and slammed the people trying to sabotage the Adah Sharma starrer.

She wrote, ¡°Those who speak of banning #The Kerala Story are as wrong as those who wanted to ban Aamir Khan¡¯s #Laal Singh Chaadha. Once a film has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification nobody has the right to become an extra-constitutional authority.¡±

Kangana who is ready to respond over anything and everything lauded Azmi only to pull down Aamir Khan.

Ranaut tweeted, ¡°This is a very valid point except for the fact that no one asked for a ban on LSC people just didn¡¯t want to see it for many reasons, major reason was it was a remake of a very popular old Hollywood classic which most people had already seen¡­¡±

However several users didn¡¯t agree with Kangana and reminded her of Dhaakad¡¯s feat. See some reactions:-

Back on Sunday, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur slammed opposition parties and everyone else opposing The Kerala Story.

He said as quoted by HT, "The Kerala Story is not just a film. There are some people who want to lure girls into the path of terrorism, and their face has been exposed in this film. Some political parties are opposing it. If they are protesting then they support PFI, terrorism and ISIS.¡±

On the other hand, Tamil Nadu theatres have pulled down the film from theatres to avoid any sort of outrage in theatres.

When asked if the makers are planning to take legal action over this, Sudipto Sen told Bollywood Hungama, ¡°Yes, we are going to court. We will also be conducting a press conference later today.¡± Other than Adah, the film also stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani in lead roles.
