The film ‘The Kerala Story 2’ has been embroiled in a lot of controversies even before its release. Ever since a scene of this film has come out, it has raised many questions in the minds of people. Many people from the film industry are also talking about this film. Recently Anurag Kashyap had called this film a propaganda film. Now the film’s director Kamakhya Narayan Singh has hit back at this statement of Anurag and has even called Anurag mentally unstable.
What did the director of ‘The Kerala Story 2’ say?
After Anurag Kashyap’s statement, director of the film ‘The Kerala Story 2’, Kamakhya Narayan Singh responded to him by posting on his official x (Twitter) account. Kamakhya wrote in her post, ‘Dear Anurag Sir, the issue is not what was shown in the film – Khichdi, beef or anything else. The real question is about consent and pressure. Even Khichdi cannot be fed against someone’s will, so if a film raises the issue of forced change or pressure, then it is intellectual dishonesty to call it spreading hatred.
Your lie is creative freedom and our truth…
Kamakhya further wrote in her post, ‘Your lies are also creative freedom and our truth is also propaganda! The debate should be based on facts and data – not by shutting down the discussion by applying labels like “nonsense”, “sycophants”.
Dear Anurag sir,
The issue is not what was shown in the film – khichdi, beef or anything else. The real question is consent and coercion.
Even Khichdi cannot be fed against someone’s will, so if a film raises the issue of forced change or pressure, then calling it spreading hatred would be intellectual… pic.twitter.com/1bIIaYyA7I

Anurag Kashyap’s statement
Let us tell you that when Anurag Kashyap was asked by the media at the airport about ‘The Kerala Story 2’, he condemned it in strong words. On the beef scene shown in the trailer, he said, ‘No one even feeds khichdi like the one who is shown feeding beef.’ He clearly said that this film has been made only to earn money and wants to divide people. Anurag said, ‘The maker of this film is a greedy man. He just wants to make money.
Ruckus over beef scene
Let us tell you that the trailer of the film has been released a few days ago. In a scene of this trailer, it is shown that a girl (Ulka Gupta) is forcefully fed beef by a Muslim family. When the girl refuses, her hands and legs are tied and beef is forcibly stuffed into her mouth. There is a lot of debate these days regarding this scene.
