Kerala HC Stays Release of 'The Kerala Story 2' Movie

The Kerala High Court on Thursday (February 26) stayed release of the movie Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, following pleas challenging its censor certification. 

The film was slated to hit the theaters tomorrow. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas observed that the Central Board of Film Certification prima facie



ignored the guidelines for film certification and asked the body to re-examine the issue. 

The judge in his order said, "...the very content in the teaser itself, which is conceded to be part of the movie, has the prima facie potential to distort the public perception and disturb communal harmony."
