The gossip mill is buzzing as ‘The Kerala Story 2’ directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah gears up for its theatrical release on February 27. The trailer has already stirred the pot, and now, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has entered the debate with no filter.
Since the trailer dropped, viewers have been talking. Some are shocked, some furious. One scene showing protagonist being force-fed beef by a Muslim family has become the center of the storm. The provocative scene has not only grabbed attention but also triggered strong opinions from the film fraternity.

Anurag Kashyap’s no-holds-barred reaction
Kashyap, attending the Filmfare Awards South in Kochi, did not mince words when the paparazzi asked about the trailer. “The Kerala Story is s***** movie. It is bull**** propaganda. Total bull****,” he declared. He didn’t stop there. “Aisa kaun beef khilata hai? Aisa koi khichdi bhi nahi khilata hai (Who feeds someone beef like this? No one is fed even khichdi in this manner). Bakwaas picture. It is called crap.”
The filmmaker went on to accuse the makers of greed. “They just want to make money and please everybody; divide people. The filmmaker is a greedy man. He just wants to make money,” he added.

Of course, the director of The Kerala Story 2, Kamakhya Narayan Singh, didn’t stay silent. He hit back, defending his film fiercely. “… The audience does not take him seriously. His films have been flopping for many years. He became mentally weak. He is not able to see the truth that our sisters are being forcibly fed beef to convert their religion,” Singh said.
Then he doubled down on the authenticity of his work, stating, “Every scene of our film is based on true incidents. We know that it is based on true incidents, so if Anurag ji wants, then we will send all the research materials to his house.”
