I'm against propaganda films: Kamal Haasan on 'The Kerala Story' controversy
Abu Dhabi, May 27 (PTI) Veteran actor Kamal Haasan on Saturday called "The Kerala Story" a propaganda, saying a film does not become a "true story" just by carrying a tagline.
Directed by Sudipto Sen, "The Kerala Story" has polarised the political discourse in the country as it depicts how women from Kerala were forced to convert and recruited by the terror group Islamic State (IS).
Talking to reporters here on the sidelines of IIFA Awards and Weekend, the actor-filmmaker said he is "dead against" the propaganda movies as they are based on "lies" that divide people of the country.
