AR Rahman shared a video on a Hindu wedding in 2020 of Anju and Sharath conducted according to Hindu rituals and solemnised by a Hindu priest inside a mosque amid the
‘The Kerala Story row
The Sudipto Sen directorial Kerala Story, has been highly criticised by the Kerala’s ruling Left front and the Congress over its claims that “approximately 32,000 women” went missing from the state, having converted to Islam and joined ISIS.
As per CPI(M) and the Congress in Kerala these claims are exaggerated and misrepresent the truth, while the film’s makers, including producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, it is based on a true story and every scene in the film is factual.
AR Rahman shared the video in an apparent call for communal harmony. “Bravo, love for humanity has to be unconditional and healing,” he wrote.
Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is among those who slammed the makers of The Kerala Story, accusing them of indulging in “gross exaggeration” and “distortion” of the state’s reality.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain petitions against the controversial Hindi film scheduled for release on Friday, May 5. The pleas, including the one which sought a limited relief that a disclaimer should be made in the title of the film to the effect that it is a work of fiction, was mentioned for urgent listing before a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha.
