Why Sudipto Sen Didn’t Direct The Kerala Story 2

Filmmaker Sudipto Sen, who directed the 2023 hit The Kerala Story, won’t helm the sequel The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond. He said sensitive topics need deep, long-term research and he can’t base a film on unverified sources like WhatsApp forwards or news reports. The sequel, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, has already stirred political debate.
