The Kerala Story 2 helmed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh is releasing on 27 Feb 2026. The film stars Aditi Bhatia, Ulka Gupta, and Aishwarya Ojha in the lead roles.
With the controversies surrounding the film increasing, The Kerala High Court heard the petition against the film. After that The High Court, decided to halt the film's release rights and also questioned the CBFC over the certification. The Court remarked "You have not even given an 'A' certificate to the film. You've given U/A," the bench remarked. The court further noted that the makers were not keen on screening the film immediately and observed that there was a shortage of time to examine the matter in detail.
The counsel for the producers argued "The main question is not about the movie, but whether this is a petition filed by an aggrieved party, a public interest petition, or something else,"
The counsel also argued "Kerala is also a part of India. We cannot isolate Kerala from India. What is being sought is something unknown to the law," the counsel said, adding that references to the "dignity of Kerala" were constitutionally misplaced. "There is no question of 'dignity of Kerala'; it is the dignity of India," the court was told.
The High Court posted the matter for hearing tomorrow.
