The Kerala Story 2 directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh cleared all the legal hurdles to hit the screens last week. The film starred Aditi Bhatia, Ulka Gupta, and Aishwarya Ojha and is the sequel to the hit film The Kerala Story.\r\nThe film got mixed reviews and in the meantime, the beef scene in the film stirred a huge controversy. Talking about it, Producer Vipul Shah said &ldquo;People are focusing on beef and the force-feeding of beef. My question is: if she were force-fed a laddu like that, would it be allowed? Can you take away a girl&rsquo;s freedom to choose and force-feed her anything? That is the larger question the film raises.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;That is the larger point, which people with a certain kind of biased mindset have ignored.&rdquo; On the film carrying Kerala in the title, he said&nbsp; &ldquo;One needs to understand that the theme of the film is manipulative conversion and, because of that, lives are being lost. Our girls&rsquo; lives are being destroyed. Not in every case does the girl die, but lives are being ruined. That is the same theme that is extended in this film, and that is why the title has been kept as The Kerala Story 2: Go Beyond. It goes beyond Kerala.&rdquo;\r\nHe revealed&nbsp; &ldquo;When we made The Kerala Story, there was no plan for a sequel. The idea came when we encountered stories from across the nation and realised that this menace is huge -- it is widespread. That is when the idea of a sequel began. Now, the moment you call it a sequel, the title cannot change. But we wanted to be honest that it is not only about Kerala -- it goes far beyond Kerala. It covers the entire country, and that is why it is called The Kerala Story 2: Go Beyond. In that sense, it is a spiritual sequel to the original film.&rdquo;

Prakash Raj is known for his frank and bold political comments and inside talk is his political comments are troubling all the makers.

A source shares &ldquo;Prakash Raj has been making strong and negative comments against the Prime Minister during public events. As an outspoken critic, he has spared none, while his critics accuse him of making irresponsible remarks. Prakash Raj, however, maintains that it is a citizen&rsquo;s duty to ask questions and has consistently stated that he will continue to question what he believes are wrong moves.&rdquo;

While Pawan Kalyan, whom Prakash Raj criticised on multiple occasions, didnot bother much about his comments as Prakash Raj was cast in his film Ustaad Bhagat Singh, it seems Sandeep Vanga and Prabhas for Spirit have different reasons. Harish Shankar talking about Pawan Kalyan said that Pawan Kalyan views politics and films as seperate entities and so he has no qualms in sharing screen presence with Prakash Raj.

Now it is coming out that Prakash Raj was out of Spirit after Sandeep Vanga asked him to refrain from political comments during Spirit shoot. A noted producer shares &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t know the real reason behind this conclusion. Maybe Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are not willing to take risks with their much-awaited project Spirit. With hundreds of crores at stake, they might not want any unnecessary negativity surrounding the project.&rdquo;

Ice Cool Samson powers India into T-20 World Cup semis. In the Super 8, Group A match, between India vs West Indies, which is billed as the virtual semi final clash, India entered into the semi finals by outclassing the mighty West Indies in Eden Gardens, Kolkota.\r\nWest Indies put into bat first by India, off to a flier before Varun Chakrawarthy pulled the brakes. Shia Hope, West Indian captain along with Roston Chase added 68 in 8 over&rsquo;s before Varun castled Shia Hope 23 (33). Shirmon Heytmyer, started blazing and West Indies reached 100 in just 11 over&rsquo;s and set their sights on the target of 200.\r\nHowever, Bumrah (36/2) entered and got the wickets of Chase 40(25) and Heytmyer 27 (12) to leave West Indies at 103/3. When Pandya&nbsp; (40/1) accounted for Rutherford, West Indies were tottering at 119/4 before Ronowan Powell 34(19) and Jason Holder 37 (22) powered them to a respectable 195/4 in 20 overs. Axar Patel (35/0) didnot get the wickets but bowled economically.\r\nIndian chase didnot go down smoothly as Abhishek Sharma 10(11) and Ishan Kishan 10(6) failing cheaply. However Sanju Samson, who got the reputation of failing after promising much, this time batted like man possed along with Surya Kumar.

When Hardik 17 (14), it was left to Shivam Dube 8(4) and Sanju who blasted a 6 and a 4 to power India into the semis. Sanju remained unbeaten on 97 (50). Both the teams spilled many easy catches and this once again proved that catches win matches.
