The Kerala Story has been marred into controversy ever since its trailer release in April. The film claimed to narrate the story of 32,000 Hindu women from parts of Kerala who were a victim of ‘love jihad’, were taken overseas and converted to Islam.

Speaking about the film, Vipul Amrutlal said, “The film is an amalgamation of years of research and true stories which have never been dared to be told before, it will uncover many hidden truths that have been hidden for long. It will uncover the dangerous threat radicalisation poses to the women of our nation and will create awareness about this conspiracy being hatched against India.”

Taking to his social media account, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor spoke about the controversy surrounding The Kerala Story and wrote, “Many are spreading this 2021 tweet of mine as if it undermines my present objections to the trailer & publicity for "The Kerala Story". Yes, I was approached then by three Kerala mothers and was aware of a fourth, and I was open about my concerns about their daughters' radicalisation.”

“But four cases are a far cry from the 32,000 that the film-makers are alleging. If there really were so many ISIS female members from Kerala, that would mean double the number when you count their husbands, whereas even Western intelligence sources says the number of ALL Indians in ISIS does not approach three figures. This gross exaggeration and distortion of the Kerala reality is what I am objecting to,” the politician wrote via the microblogging site.
