Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Feb 25 (NationPress) The creators of the highly anticipated film 'The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond' have addressed the swirling rumors regarding the alleged removal of its teaser.
On Tuesday, the film's production company, Sunshine Pictures, released an official statement debunking these claims as completely unfounded and misleading.
They asserted, “Sunshine Pictures wants to unequivocally state that the current news about the withdrawal of 'The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond' teaser is entirely false, baseless, and misleading. The issue is currently under judicial consideration. No court has issued any judgment or order mandating the removal of any content. We have neither deleted nor retracted any material.”
They added, “Both the teaser and the trailer of 'The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond' remain accessible on all our official channels. We strongly advise media outlets, digital platforms, and individuals to avoid disseminating unverified information and speculative rumors. Such misinformation only leads to unnecessary confusion.”
Previously, there were reports suggesting that the teaser for 'The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond' was briefly launched online before being taken down from official social media accounts, igniting fresh debates concerning the franchise's already contentious stance.
The original 'The Kerala Story' faced significant scrutiny, legal challenges, and political responses over its depiction of sensitive social issues. In this context, the supposed takedown of the sequel's teaser was interpreted by many as a preemptive or corrective action rather than a mere marketing blunder. This incident highlights the increasing scrutiny faced by politically and socially sensitive cinema in India, where promotional content can become a contentious issue even before a film is released.
'The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond' is scheduled to hit theaters on February 27, 2026.
