Mumbai, Feb 7 : As the Adah Sharma-starrer 'The Kerala Story' is set for the OTT release, director Sudipto Sen shared that tackling such a sensitive topic and translating it into a film is no small feat.

Inspired by real events, 'The Kerala Story' which has created quite a buzz during its theatrical release, delves into the sensitive and complex issue of the alleged radicalisation and conversion of young Hindu women to another religion in Kerala, forcing them into joining terrorist groups.

Talking about the film, Sudipto said: "Tackling such a sensitive topic and translating it into a film is no small feat; it's a challenge we willingly embraced. However, every filmmaker wants an assurance about his work and 'The Kerala Story's box office performance was my assurance and gratification to continue to have faith in myself."

"Many are living in the dark about the reality of the situation and for those, this film will lift that darkness and show them the naked truth as the stories in the film are real. The faces in the film are real. The fates and consequences of the characters in the film are real," he shared.

"The film is a unique cinematic experience for the viewers of the film," added Sudipto.

Adah, who plays Shalini Unnikrishnan shared: "The courageous makers of 'The Kerala Story', Vipul Shah and Sudipto Sen deserve to be applauded for having put in immense hard work to bring this film to life."

Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, commented: "There are so many moments where you want to rewind and rewatch or watch the film again and again. This is a very important film for the entire family to see together."
