Amid The Kerala Story Controversy, AR Rahman Shares Video Of Hindu Couple Tying Knot In Mosque

Amid the controversy surrounding the film ‘The Kerala Story’, Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman on Thursday shared a video on social media showing a Hindu couple tying the knot in a Kerala mosque.

New Delhi: Amid the controversy surrounding the film ‘The Kerala Story’, Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman on Thursday shared a video on social media showing a Hindu couple tying the knot in a Kerala mosque. 

While sharing a video showing a Hindu couple tying the knot in a Kerala mosque, he wrote, "Love for humanity has to be unconditional and healing.” 

Rahman had retweeted the video, captioned as "Here is another #KeralaStory", shared by a page on the microblogging site. 

"Bravo... love for humanity has to be unconditional and healing," Rahman wrote as he shared the video with his over 24 million Twitter followers. 

 

The almost two-minute clip, reported by independent digital platform The News Minute, shows a Hindu couple tying the knot in a mosque in Kerala's Alappuzha city. According to the video, the bride's mother who was struggling financially had approached the mosque's committee for help with her daughter's wedding. 

Rahman’s post comes a day before the release of the controversial film starring Adah Sharma. 'The Kerala Story' is portrayed as "unearthing" the events behind "approximately 32,000 women" allegedly going missing in the southern state. The film claims they converted, got radicalised and were deployed in terror missions in India and the world.  

The film has triggered a political storm, with the Kerala government and many other parties slamming the film and the makers.  

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan slammed the film's makers in a Facebook post, saying they were taking up the Sangh Parivar propaganda of projecting the state as a centre of religious extremism by raising the issue of love jihad.’  

Vijayan also said the trailer of the Hindi film, at first glance, appears to be "deliberately produced" with the alleged aim of creating communal polarisation and spreading hate propaganda against the state.  

"In the trailer of the movie, we see a hoax that 32,000 women in Kerala were converted and became members of the Islamic State. This bogus story is a product of the Sangh Parivar's lie factory," the CM contended in his statement.  

He said despite the issue of 'love jihad' being rejected by probe agencies, courts and the MHA, it was being raised in connection with Kerala as the main premise of the film only to humiliate the state in front of the world. 

'The Kerala Story' is backed by Sunshine Pictures Private Limited, founded by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who serves as the producer, creative director and co-writer of the film.
