‘Hamein Discredit Kiya’, Vipul Shah Addresses The Kerala Story’s ‘32000 Girls Converted’ Claim

Adah Sharm starrer The Kerala Story is one of the most talked about films of the current time. Allegedly based on a fictional story, this Sudipti Sen directorial is a story of three girls who are converted and manipulated to become a part of a terrorist organization. However, the makers earlier claimed that this was the story of 32000 girls.

The film’s producer Vipul Shah has now reacted to the controversy and shut all trolls.

He said at a recent press conference, “26 ladkiyan yaha hain, aur aur abhi inhone khud kaha, 7000 number ek sanstha ka hain. Toh mujhe lagta hain ab ye 32,000 ya 3, hum sab sai crore ladkiyon se khud mil chukey hain. Toh 3 ke number kit oh koi baat hi nahi thi. Hamare film 3 ladkiyon ki kahaani leke batati hain, isiliye wo 3 ka number hain. 3 ke number ka actual jo ho raha hain use Kerala ka koi vaasta nahi hain.”

“Ye kahaani 3 ladkiyon ke kahaani ke through in hazaaron ladkiyon ki kahaani aap tak leke aayi hain.”

Vipul further claimed that some people fueled the entire fiasco to discredit him.

“Aur bahut dukh bhi hua ki media ke kuch logo ne ismein unka saath bhi diya, hamein discredit karne ki koshish ki. Hum koi nahi hain, lekin itni saari ladkiyon ki zindagiyan barbaad ho rahi hain, unka saath na dekar, iss film ko chota ya jhootha sabit karne ki koshish kar rahe hain. Ye kitna sahi hain ye hare k ko, apne aap ko aaine mein dekh ke jawaab dena chahiye.”

He further added with his bold thoughts, “7000 ka number inhone kaha par aise bahut se aakhron ko leke hum bohot jald hi aenge aur saara khulasa karenge, 32,000 ka bhi. Uske baad main dekhna chahta hoon ki jin logo ne hamein criticise kiya, kya wo apna rukh badalte gaub? Lekin wo hamare bare mein kya sochte hain isse hamein koi farq nahi padta. Aap inn ladkiyon ki ladai ko weak mat kariye, inke sath anyaye mat kariye. That is our request and that is what we want to see.”
