Kangana Ranaut Calls Ban Imposed On Adah Sharma's The Kerala Story An 'Insult To Constitution'

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut called out the ban imposed on Adah Sharma-starrer The Kerala Story. The Dhakad actor called it 'unconstitutional'. Directed by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story has split political debate in the nation since it tells the story of Keralan women who were coerced into joining the Islamic State (IS) and were recruited as fighters.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, Kangana told reporters in Haridwar, "Banning a film, which has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) amounts to insulting the constitution. The ban on The Kerala Story by some states is not correct." She further noted, "When a film is approved by the censor board, which is a government body, then it should not be opposed."

Ranaut noted, "When a film like The Kerala Story is made, people's complaint is redressed... Such films help the film industry. The films, which people like to watch and appreciate, only benefit the film industry. People always have complaints with the Bollywood film industry, as the kind of films they want to watch, such films are not made and once these films are created, they are appreciated by a mass audience."

The Supreme Court, on May 18, stayed the West Bengal government's order banning the film in the state. The court also asked Tamil Nadu to ensure safety of the moviegoers. The apex court ordered the makers to give a disclaimer regarding the unsubstantiated figure '32,000' mentioned in the film.

On the professional front, Kangana is currently gearing for her upcoming movie Emergency. The actor will step into the shoes of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for the upcoming flick. Apart from Emergency, she also has, Chandramukhi 2, Tejas and Sita-The Incarnation.
