Kerala High Court Seeks CBFC Reply on Plea to Revoke Certification of ‘The Kerala Story 2’

The Kerala High Court has issued notice on a plea seeking cancellation of certification and a stay on the release of The Kerala Story 2 - Goes Beyond.

Filed by Sreedev Namboodiri from Kannur, the petition alleges the film unfairly links terrorism and forced conversions exclusively to Kerala, harming Malayali dignity and risking communal unrest.

Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas sought responses from the Central Board of Film Certification and producer Sunshine Pictures by February 24, 2026.

The plea claims the CBFC failed to consider public order concerns under the Cinematograph Act 1952 and alleges violation of Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution of India, seeking a title change and disclaimers.
