The trailer of The Kerala Story 2 is finally out, and it sets a heavy, unsettling tone right from the start. It opens with a stark claim that India could turn into an Islamic state in the next 25 years. From there, the narrative moves beyond Kerala and into Rajasthan. One of the early moments shows a distressed Hindu family attempting to file a POCSO case, alleging that their 16-year-old daughter was forced to convert to another faith.
The Kerala Story 2: What the trailer shows
The trailer of The Kerala Story 2 then shifts across multiple locations and stories. It begins with a Hindu girl from Madhya Pradesh who steps into what looks like a marriage, but it does not stay that way for long. As things unfold, the situation shifts, and she finds herself being pushed towards a forced conversion. In Kerala, another relationship takes shape, though it carries a similar strain underneath. A Muslim man pressures his Hindu girlfriend into a live-in arrangement. When she refuses to let go of her religious beliefs, the friction between them grows sharper, and the confrontations that follow turn violent.
Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah has said that these stories are based on six to seven months of detailed research. According to him, this process included studying Indian court documents as well.
