The producer of the film, The Kerala Story 2 reveals it is inspired by real-life incidents
Recently, the producer of The Kerala Story 2, Vipul Amrutlal Shah revealed that films like this are heavily inspired by real-life incidents. He stated that the upcoming film explores how women are exploited within India. Vipul further explained that by portraying three girls, he is telling the stories of several girls, whose court cases are going on in India. According to the Hindustan Times, he was quoted as saying:
“When we make a film like The Kerala Story: Goes Beyond, we wanted it to become more representative of our all-India situation. And hence, the three stories that we selected, we could not just tell their stories. We have taken many incidents from other girls’ lives and made them part of their stories. As a result, it’s a story of three girls, but it also has a reflection of a lot of other stories in it.”
