"Let me put the facts straight - we never apologize for our film THE KERALA STORY. We never cut a single shot from the film. And, we did not do that because we stood by every word spoken and every scene shown in the film. We submitted more than 3-hours of testimonies and more than 200-pages of written documents to CBFC and they gave us A certification without any cut in the film. Even the honorable Supreme Court did not inflict a single cut on our film, in spite of having more than 20 petitions against us, from different parts of the country. Honorable SC requested us to change one of the disclaimers before the film, for the convenience of the release of the film. We did that. Most importantly here, the honorable supreme court did not ask to cut even a single shot of the film. That is the vindication of our work - 10-years long on-ground research and hence the film."
