New Delhi: The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, is one of the most popular films of 2023. The movie starring Adah Sharma shattered numerous box office records. The movie was criticised for its delicate treatment of religious conversions, ISIS, and love jihad. In reality, The Kerala Story was initially outlawed in West Bengal, and many Tamil Nadu theatres refused to show it.

The Kerala Story struggles to find OTT buyers

The makers of TKS are currently having difficulty finding an OTT buyer for the movie, weeks after its debut. Sudipto claimed that the business community had united against them.

On May 5, The Kerala Story opened in theatres with numerous restrictions and debates. Among other things, the movie discussed ISIS and religious conversions. Since its debut, it has generated a roar at the ticket office, largely because of its contentious subject.

As per reports by Bollywood Hungama, director Sudipto Sen is struggling to find a suitable OTT buyer for the Adah Sharma flick.

“We still haven’t got a suitable offer from any OTT platform for The Kerala Story,” said Sudipto, adding, “We are still waiting for a good workable deal from any of the main OTT platforms. But so far, we have not got any offer worth considering. It seems the film industry has ganged up to punish us.”

Citing the reason of the punishment, Sudipto said, “Our box office success has irked many sections of the film industry. We have a feeling that a section of the entertainment industry has united to punish us for our success.”

The Maharashtra election may further push the Congress down as it has lost the election at a time when it needed a win most desperately. Though the Congress succeeded in pushing the BJP to a corner and stopping it at less than a majority on its own, it failed to make any headway further.
