The Kerala Story 2 Makers Move Supreme Court After High Court Halts Release
•Producers of 'The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond' plan to appeal to the Supreme Court after the Kerala High Court issued an interim stay on its February 27 premiere.
•The Kerala High Court's bench, led by Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas, issued a 15-day interim stay, citing concerns that the CBFC might not have adequately considered public order and social harmony.
•The High Court directed the CBFC to re-examine the film's certification and review petitions against it, barring release until the review is complete.
•Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah's legal team argues the film received certification through due process and judicial interference sets a concerning precedent, causing financial loss.
•The controversy mirrors legal challenges faced by the original 'The Kerala Story', with petitioners arguing the sequel's promotional materials could harm communal harmony and stereotype Kerala.
