The team of 'The Kerala Story' movie is likely to attend the Hindu Ekta Yatra being organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Telangana's Karimnagar district on May 14. State BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar said on Thursday that he is looking forward to hosting the team at the Hindu Ekta Yatra.
The Karimnagar MP took to Twitter to convey birthday wishes to Adah Sharma, who acted in 'The Kerala Story'. Sanjay wrote, "May you have outstanding career in cinemas and bring more unconventional scripts that touches our cultural ethos," Sanjay said he was looking forward to hosting the movie team at the Hindu Ekta Yatra.
After watching the film in Hyderabad on May 7, Sanjay had said that he would encourage creation of more such movies and vowed tax exemptions if the BJP came to power in the state.
He had revealed that he had invited film's director Sudipto Sen and producer Vipul Shah to the Hindu Ekta Yatra.

Sanjay alleged that there was a conspiracy to trigger terror and promote 'Love Jihad' in the country. He went on to claim that the film depicted only 5 per cent of the ground reality.
Sanja expects about a lakh people at the Hindu Ekta Yatra. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, BJP in-charge for Telangana Tarun Chugh and other leaders will participate in the yatra.
Sanjay appealed to all those working for the "protection of Hindu religion" to participate in the yatra. He said the yatra will demonstrate the unity of Hindus.
