A massive controversy happened around ‘The Kerala Story’ after the trailer claimed that 32,000 women from Kerala had gone missing and joined the terrorist group ISIS. However, in the face of protests, the debatable figures in the trailer were later withdrawn. Its trailer description was later changed to a story of three women from Kerala. 


The film has also been a topic of debate amongst the politicians. While speaking with news agency ANI, lead actress Adah Sharma had earlier said, “The story is really scary. The fact that people are calling it propaganda or are thinking about numbers only above the missing girls is scarier. Instead, it would have been the opposite that we would have discussed that girls are missing like this and then given a thought about the numbers.”
