The Kerala Story, starring actress Adah Sharma, has been making every Entertainment Industry headline ever since its release and screenings worldwide. However, a couple of days later, the film was banned in West Bengal, which raised a lot of questions from the public. In response, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the West Bengal government seeking reasons behind the ban on the movie in the state. Recently, Adah Sharma sat down for an interview and talked about the ban and her experience working on the movie.
When asked about the ban, Adah Sharma expressed her disappointment with the decision, especially since the movie was banned without being seen. ” Without watching the movie, It’s not at all right to Ban it.” Adah said, calling it a “disrespect” to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which had already cleared the movie. She also questioned, “If the Board is not being followed, what’s the point of, having it? Adah also spoke about her experience working on The Kerala Story, calling it a “pleasure” to work with director Aneesh Varma and her co-stars. The movie is a thriller about a woman who is trying to uncover the truth behind her husband’s disappearance in Kerala. Adah said that it was a challenging role for her and that she had to learn a new dialect for the movie. She also added that she was happy to take on the role as it was a departure from her previous work.
Adah spoke about the challenges of being an actor in the film industry, especially during these times with the pandemic affecting the way movies are made and released. She said that actors have had to adapt to the changing times, whether it means working on smaller projects or finding new ways to promote movies. Overall, Adah’s interview shed light on the ban on The Kerala Story and the challenges of being an actor in the industry. Her message that movies should not be banned without being seen by the appropriate certification board resonates with audiences, and it is a reminder of the importance of artistic freedom in society. With more and more movies being affected by bans and restrictions, Adah’s voice is crucial in defending the rights of filmmakers and audiences alike.
