Tovino Thomas has this to say about 'The Kerala Story 2'

During the promotions of his movie, Tovino Thomas was asked about Kamakhya Narayan Singh's 'The Kerala Story 2', which was released in the month of February.

What did Tovino Thomas say about 'The Kerala Story' (2023)

Back in 2023, Tovino Thomas had expressed his opinions about the Sudipto Sen-directed 'The Kerala Story'. He had said, "See, I haven’t watched that movie yet, and I haven’t spoken to anyone who has watched it. I saw the trailer. Its description said ‘32,000 women…’ and then they themselves changed it from 32,000 to 3."He had added, "What does that mean? As far as I know, there are 35 million people in Kerala, and with these three incidents, nobody can generalize it.

I won’t deny that such incidents may have happened, but three out of 35 million cannot be generalized. Giving misinformation is very bad."
