Vipul Shah Denies Strain In Bollywood Relations Over ‘The Kerala Story’

MUMBAI- Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the man behind ‘The Kerala Story’ and ‘The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond’, has shared whether the nature of his films has affected his friendships in Bollywood, an industry known for interfaith marriages.

Reacting to this, the director stated that people in Bollywood are sensible enough to understand what exactly they are trying to say with their upcoming drama, ‘The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond’.

Vipul said that they are not against any particular religion and that their films only intend to focus on bringing certain cases to light, where girls are trapped into marriage with malicious intentions.

“Look, the first thing is that our film or me, we are not against any religion or any community. We are only against criminals. So, the marriages that happen in our industry, or the marriages that happen in the rest of society, we have no comment on that. We are only talking about those cases where a girl is trapped for the wrong purpose. Girls’ lives are played with.”

“Now, in the case of this movie, the documents that we got, there is a rate card of the girls. If a Muslim boy marries a girl of any caste, how much money will he get? So, we are against this. We are exposing this crime. We have no comment on any other marriage or relationship,” he went on to explain.

Vipul shared that people in the entertainment industry are extremely sensitive and are well aware of the kind of crime the makers are trying to expose through ‘The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond’.

“By exposing that crime, we have not commented on these marriages or on them. Everyone understands this. And there is no problem in our relations,” he added. (IANS)
