Amid Controversies, Adah Sharma Thanks Fans For Making ‘The Kerala Story’ Trend And Loving Her Performance

Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani feature together in ‘The Kerala Story’.

Amid the controversies surrounding ‘The Kerala Story’, the lead actor of the movie Adah Sharma has now thanked her fans for making the film ‘trend’. She tweeted, “Thank you to all the crores of you who are going to watch our film, thank you for making it trend, thank you for loving my performance. This weekend the 12th #TheKeralaStory releases internationally in 37 countries (or more) #adahsharma”

Apart from Adah Sharma, the film also stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani in lead roles. The film got embroiled in a controversy after its trailer claimed that 32,000 women from Kerala had gone missing and joined the terrorist group ISIS. However, the contentious figure in the trailer was later withdrawn, and then the makers changed the story of the film to revolve around three women from Kerala.

When asked about the earlier numbers, which caused a disruption, Adah told ANI, “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.”

However, she remained confident about the subject matter of the film, and said, “You won’t be discussing numbers, once you watch the movie”. 

Adah started her career in 2008 with a film titled ‘1920’, and then starred in films like ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’, ‘Commando 2’ and ‘Commando 3’.

Recently, the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal banned the film The Kerala Story to avoid incidents of “hatred and violence” in the state.
