High court Puts 15-Day Stay
The kerala high court imposed a 15-day stay on the release of The kerala Story 2 just a day before its scheduled theatrical release on february 27.
The film faces controversy over its subject of alleged forced religious conversions in Kerala.
Producers have appealed the decision, and the court has agreed to hear their plea.
The film’s release status remains legally uncertain.

💰 How Is the Film Making Money?
The film reportedly sold around 5,000 tickets in advance before the stay order was issued.
