The amount paid to other cast members includes Rs 25 lakh for Vijay Krishna, Rs 20 lakh for Pranay Pachauri and Rs 15 lakh for Pranav Mishra.
The story of Kerala revolves around four Hindu college girls living in a Kerala hostel who were allegedly brainwashed and converted to Islam. Later, he was forcefully recruited by the terrorist organization- ISIS and sent on terror missions. As soon as the film’s trailer was released by the makers, petitions started pouring in, accusing the film of falsely claiming that 32,000 women converted to Islam.
Although petitions were filed in the High Court requesting that Kerala Story be stayed from release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) found no objection to the film and cleared its release in theatres. The film deals with controversial and serious issues including love jihad and Islamic conversion.
Though The Kerala Story opened to negative reviews, the positive response from the public seems to have fetched numbers at the ticket window. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on 6 May that the film earned a decent Rs 8.03 crore on Friday.
