ABOUT THE KERALA STORY

Adah Sharma plays a Hindu woman from Kerala who is persuaded into accepting Islam and travelling to Syria in the movie “The Kerala Story.” Later, she is transferred to the ISIS Terrorist Organisation, where she is subjected to torture. The movie is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and directed by Sudipto Sen. According to the film’s allegations, 32,000 women from Kerala were caught in this risky plan in real-life occurrences.

The trailer for the movie, however, now refers to the current stories of three women rather than the “story of 32,000 women.” That spurred additional discussion.
