The Kerala Story, headlined by Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani and Siddhi Idnani, has stirred controversy ever since the trailer dropped digitally. Directed by Sudipto Sen, the film is about women from Kerala who were forced to follow Islam. It is said to be inspired by real incidents. While The Kerala Story is doing well in most states of India, theatres in Tamil Nadu have pulled it down. 

Confirming the same, the President of Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association, M Subramaniam, told a media agency, "The film was only shown in a few multiplexes owned by pan-India groups, mostly PVR. Locally-owned multiplexes had already decided not to show the film, as it did not have any popular stars. In Coimbatore for instance, there were two shows so far -- one on Friday and one on Saturday. Even those did not do well. Given that, theatres decided that it was not worth going through the threat of protests and such."

The Kerala Story was pulled down from theatres in Tamil Nadu on Sunday.
