The Kerala High Court, while hearing the plea against The Kerala Story 2 on Tuesday, questioned the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over the U/A certification granted to the film. Meanwhile, the council appearing for the producers agreed to take down the teaser and trailer of the film, which they later retracted.

Kerala HC questions CBFC over The Kerala Story 2's certification

The Court said that it will watch the movie to decide the three petitions which have sought a stay on the film's release as well as the cancellation of its certification over concerns that it may cause communal strife. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas, who was hearing the plea, emphasised that the CBFC has an important role to play when the movie shows a secular state like Kerala through a communal lens.
