Mumbai’s film scene is buzzing once again with the release of the trailer for ‘The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond’, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2023 blockbuster that gripped the nation. Unveiled on Tuesday, this two-minute teaser has ignited fierce debates and heightened anticipation among viewers. At its core, the trailer delves into the chilling realities of forced religious conversions, opening with a provocative claim: India could transform into an Islamic state within the next 25 years.
The narrative unfolds across multiple states, spotlighting the harrowing experiences of three Hindu girls. In Rajasthan, a desperate family storms a police station, alleging that their 16-year-old daughter is being coerced into converting her faith. The raw emotion in their plea sets a tense tone right from the start.
Shifting to Madhya Pradesh, the story exposes the dark side of deceptive romance. A young Hindu woman falls prey to a man’s promises of marriage, only to face mounting pressure to abandon her religion. Her isolation and silent suffering are portrayed with gut-wrenching authenticity, drawing viewers into her nightmare.
The third thread takes us to Kerala, where a Muslim boy proposes a live-in relationship to his Hindu girlfriend. Tensions erupt when she insists on upholding her religious beliefs, highlighting the cultural clashes that simmer beneath the surface.
Starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia in pivotal roles, the film is directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh. Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under Sunshine Pictures, with Ashin A. Shah as co-producer, ‘The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond’ promises to push boundaries further than its predecessor. Mark your calendars for its theatrical release on February 27, 2026 – a date that could spark nationwide conversations on faith, identity, and survival.
