Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah told the Kerala High Court that pleas against “The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond” are premature and not maintainable, asserting Central Board of Film Certification alone can certify films under the Cinematograph Act, 1952.
The producers of Vijay’s final film Jana Nayagan have approached the Madras High Court after the Central Board of Film Certification referred the film to a Revising Committee despite earlier clearance.
The makers claim the last-minute move threatens the film’s scheduled release and could cause massive financial losses.
The Delhi High Court refused to certify filmmaker Shyam Bharteey’s Masoom Kaatil, ruling that films mocking religions, glorifying violence, and promoting disharmony cannot be allowed in a secular society. Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora said such content risks public peace and corrupts young minds.
