Kerala HC Seeks Special Screening of 'The Kerala Story 2', Cites 'Wrong' Portrayal
•Kerala High Court sought a special screening of 'The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond' before its February 27, 2026 release.
•The court observed that the film's teaser and trailer 'wrongly portray' the people of Kerala and could disturb communal harmony.
•Petitions challenged the censor certification, arguing promotional material casts the state and its people in a negative light.
•The Bench noted that despite being described as a 'pan-India story', using 'Kerala' in the title creates a direct association, potentially leading to communal tensions.
•The High Court directed the Centre to provide instructions regarding the film's certification and the concerns raised.
