Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has strongly criticized a recently released film, alleging that it was created with the intent to defame Kerala and promote communal discord through falsehoods. The Chief Minister remarked that the film reflects the ideological agenda of the Sangh Parivar, and is part of a calculated attempt to tarnish the state’s image.
Echoing the CM’s concerns, Kerala Education Minister V. Sivankutty also expressed his disapproval, adding weight to the growing dissent among state officials. The remarks signal a broader concern within the Kerala government about the portrayal of the state in popular media, especially when it aligns with divisive political narratives.
This development adds to the ongoing national debate around artistic freedom and political influence in cinema, as leaders and citizens alike question the balance between creative expression and responsible storytelling.
