Director Sudipto Sen hospitalised due to excessive travel for ‘The Kerala Story’ promotions
Director Sudipto Sen, who is in the midst of promoting his latest film ‘The Kerala Story’, has been hospitalised due to exertion from constant travel. Despite bans and protests, the film, which features Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani, has been doing well at the box office. Sen has been travelling extensively to spread the word about his film, planning to visit 10 cities for further promotions after his recovery.

Due to its sensitive subject matter, the film received a lot of criticism and faced a shadow ban in Tamil Nadu. However, Sen has urged viewers to form their own opinions on the movie and not simply follow the naysayers.
Despite the controversy surrounding ‘The Kerala Story’, the film’s success at the box office indicates that audiences were interested in exploring the story it depicts. Sen’s efforts to bring attention to the film through promotions and word-of-mouth have helped it reach a wider audience.
