Film producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah requested West Bengal CM to watch the movie ‘The Kerala Story’ with him hours after the Supreme Court stayed the ban on the film in West Bengal. The producer further added that he will be willingly listening to CM’s ‘valid criticism’.
He said, “With folded hands, I would like to tell Mamata Didi to watch this film with us and discuss with us if she finds anything as such. We would like to listen to all her valid criticism and present our point of view.”
“If the film can run in other parts of the country, why should the State of West Bengal ban the film? If the public does not think that the film is not worth seeing, they will not see it. It is running in other parts of the country which have similar demographic profile as West Bengal. Why should you not allow a film to run?” SC had asked.
