Controversy erupted around the recently released film 'The Kerala Story' directed by Sudipto Sen and starring Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani. The film has been accused of promoting propaganda related to sensitive topics such as 'Love Jihad' and the recruitment of Hindu women by ISIS.
Political leaders across India have demanded the ban of the film, and the release has been met with mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. However, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut recently weighed in on the controversy, stating that anyone who feels attacked by the film is a 'terrorist.'
During a recent interview, Kangana Ranaut expressed her views on the film and the calls for its ban. She mentioned that she had not yet watched the movie but had read reports that the High Court had ruled against its ban. She also added that the film was not showing anyone in a bad light except for ISIS, which is a recognized terrorist organization.

Kangana Ranaut further clarified her views and stated that if someone thinks that ISIS is not a terrorist organization despite its declaration, then they are also a terrorist. She stressed that she was referring to those people who believe that the film is attacking them, not ISIS.
'The Kerala Story' narrates the story of Fathima Ba, a Hindu Malayali nurse who was recruited by ISIS after being forced to convert to Islam. The film also highlights the issue of 'Love Jihad' propaganda, where Muslim men manipulate Hindu girls to convert to Islam and abandon their families.
The controversy around the film has sparked debate across India, with some accusing it of spreading hate and intolerance, while others argue that it is an important issue that needs to be addressed. As of now, the film remains in theaters, and it remains to be seen how this controversy will affect its box office performance.
