Actor Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday said the ban imposed on 'The Kerala Story' by some states was 'unconstitutional' after it was cleared by the CBFC. "Banning a film which has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) amounts to insulting the constitution.

The ban on 'The Kerala Story' by some states is not correct" Ranaut, 36, told reporters here. Directed by Sudipto Sen, "The Kerala Story" has polarised the political discourse in the country as it depicts how women from Kerala were forced to convert and recruited by the terror group Islamic State (IS). The West Bengal government had imposed a ban on the film on May 8, apprehending tensions among the communities.
