After leaving an indelible mark on audiences across the country, The Kerala Story returns with a powerful new chapter titled The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond. The hard-hitting trailer was unveiled a few days back, and it has sparked debate. Now, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has strongly criticised the trailer, alleging that the film promotes hatred and spreads false propaganda against the state. Calling it an attack on Kerala’s secular fabric, Vijayan urged people to reject such films.

In a statement released by his office, Vijayan said, “The release of a second part of ‘The Kerala Story’, which was made with the agenda of spreading hatred against Kerala and insulting our secular traditions, should be seen seriously.”



He alleged that forces are attempting to destroy the peace and tranquillity of the region. “They are spreading false propaganda by portraying even marriages conducted with mutual consent as examples of communalism and forced religious conversion. They view Kerala with hostility because it is a land without communal riots, where people belonging to different religions coexist with mutual respect and cooperation. These forces, which try to shatter the peace and harmony of our land, are the true enemies of our state,” he added.

“We must collectively reject attempts to portray Kerala, a land of religious harmony that stands at the forefront of sustainable development and is a model in maintaining law and order, as a center of terrorism. It is the responsibility of each of us to ensure that Kerala's secular foundation is not undermined by false propaganda and to reject it by upholding the values of secularism and brotherhood,” Vijayan concluded.
