Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah announced the release date of his upcoming film, The Kerala Story. The film is directed by Sudipto Sen and co-written with Shah. It stars Adah Sharma, who is known for her film 1920 (2008), and the Commando franchise starring Vidyut Jammwal.
In a statement, the makers of the film said, “The Kerala Story is based on a human tragedy as it unearths the events behind approximately 32,000 women going missing in the Indian southern state of Kerala who are converted, radicalised and deployed in terror missions in India and the world. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Sudipto Sen, the film is a heartbreaking tale of women who are victims of this conspiracy that isn’t just limited to Kerala or India, the director had earlier stated that it was his patriotic duty to expose the manner in which thousands of girls were converted and trafficked abroad.”
The Kerala Story will be released in theatres on May 5.
