The Kerala Story opened in theaters on May 5, 2023, despite the controversies surrounding the movie’s plot. The film stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani.
The movie caused significant commotion in India, where the government of West Bengal has banned it, and multiplex owners in Tamil Nadu have stopped showing it because of problems with law and order. However, the film is exempt from state sales taxes in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, among other states.
And now, according to the latest news, the OTT rights of The Kerala Story have reportedly been sold to a leading online streaming service already. According to reports of Jagaran, Zee5 has acquired the OTT rights to The Kerala Story, and the movie’s OTT launch is expected in the third week of June.
