There is a lot of discussion and controversy going on about the film ‘The Kerala Story 2’. Meanwhile, the film’s producer Vipul Shah has had an exclusive conversation with ANI news agency. Vipul Shah first clearly said that this film is not targeting the state of Kerala. He fondly described Kerala as ‘God’s own land’. Meaning, Kerala is a very beautiful and holy place. But the problem shown in the film is a bad thing, which is very important to be rooted out.

Vipul Shah says that he wants this evil to end from Kerala as soon as possible. They are not against the state, but against the problems that exist there. Then he talked about his first film ‘The Kerala Story’. In the first film, the figure of conversion of 32,000 girls was shown, which was widely criticized. Many people said that this number is wrong. Vipul Shah replied that he has uploaded a video on this figure on YouTube, in which names and evidence have been given. That video is available even today.

Vipul Shah’s allegations against the government

He alleges that the government would have more information than him. But even after the release of the first film, no strict action was taken. For this reason, they had to make a sequel, so that the issue could reach more people. Now about the name and story of ‘The Kerala Story 2’, he told that the name has been kept the same because the main theme is the same as before. But this time the story is not limited to Kerala only. This film exposes the big conspiracy of manipulative conversions happening all over India, that is, the problem is now not just of one state, but of the entire country. Therefore, it has been taken forward by adding ‘2’ to the name.

Have you received any threats?

When asked about security concerns, Vipul Shah said that till now he or the film has not received any specific threat or threat. He believes that when you speak the truth, there is not that much danger because people think that if the person speaking the truth is threatened, it may have the opposite effect and the truth may spread further. The trailer of the film was released earlier this month, after which a new political debate broke out. Especially the political leaders of Kerala strongly criticized it.

What did the Chief Minister of Kerala say?

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had said that such a film could again try to create communal tension in the state. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on 27 February 2026. The main message of Vipul Shah is that the film is not against any state or community, but is an attempt to highlight a social evil, so that awareness comes in the society and such incidents stop.
