The Kerala Story claims that 32,000 Hindu and Christian women from the mixed-faith state of Kerala have converted to Islam and that some were recruited by the militant Islamic State. Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher alongside Kangana Ranaut are rooting for The Kerala Story's success. Shabana said it was as wrong as asking for a ban on Laal Singh Chadha, which starred Aamir Khan in the lead. The veteran actor tweeted, “Those who speak of banning The Kerala Story are as wrong as those who wanted to ban Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaadha. But the closing credits still say it is "dedicated to the thousands of girls in Kerala and Mangalore who didn't come back home after their conversions".
