New Delhi: Amid the successful run at the Box Office, the makers of film ‘The Kerala Story’ called on Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanth on Wednesday.
The Kerala Story team met Yogi Adityanath at his official residence 10,Kalidas Marg in Lucknow.
The team included producer Vipul Amritlal Shah, director Sudipto Sen & actress Adah Sharma, who played the main protagonist in the movie.
The filmmakers paid a courtesy visit to UP CM and also thanked him for the support extended by state government.
Notably, the movie has been made tax-free in Uttar Pradesh to facilitate more footfalls in the theatres & multiplexes. Making a film tax-free slashes the ticket cost, thus prompting more people to visit multiplexes.
The film has been a roaring success at the Box Office as it garnered more than Rs 50 crores within 5 days of release.
For the unversed, the UP CM Yogi Adityanath is also set to watch the Kerala Story in theatre along with his cabinet colleague on May 12.
A tweet from the UP CM office said, “CM Yogi, along with his entire cabinet will watch the movie The Kerala Story on May 12.”
‘The Kerala Story’ film is based on the mass conversion of Hindu women in Kerala and then their trafficking to countries like Syria & Libya under the aegis of terrorist group ISIS.
‘The Kerala Story’ team also praised Yogi government’s law (Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance, 2020) and its efforts to stop “love jihad” and conversion.
