Kerala High Court stays release of The Kerala Story 2, directs CBFC to re-examine the film In what can be regarded as a major setback to the makers of The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, the Kerala High Court on Thursday granted an interim stay against the release of the film, arguing that the UA certification by the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) is questionable. The stay comes a couple of days after the court asked the producers to not release the film until the court delivers its verdict. This court order is also a big blow to the CBFC as the ostensible final authority for the suitability/non suitability of a film to be shown to the public. The court in its order also said that the guidelines for ensuring a film does not disrupt the society’s equilibrium appear not to have been adhered to by the CBFC. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas told the CBFC to re-examine the objections raised in the petitions within two weeks. Until the board gives a fresh decision, the film cannot be released. The court said it usually avoids interfering with a movie’s release, but stepped in because the concerns seemed real and needed careful review. The film was scheduled to be released on February 27. With the film, the only major release this week, being postponed the theatre exhibitors are in a panic.

Neither James Cameron nor Christopher Nolan, Ram Gopal Varma says SS Rajamouli’s “real competition” is now “prompters” Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has intensified his commentary on artificial intelligence in cinema, suggesting that the competition for directors like S. S. Rajamouli may soon shift from global auteurs to AI users armed with prompts. On February 26, Varma took to social media and wrote, “The way SEA DANCE 2. 0 is on a RAMPAGE it looks like @ssrajamouli’s competition will not be anymore with a NOLAN or a CAMERON but it will be with PROMPTERS. ” The remark appeared to reference Hollywood filmmakers Christopher Nolan and James Cameron, positioning AI tools as the new creative challengers. The way SEA DANCE 2. 0 is on a RAMPAGE it looks like @ssrajamouli ‘s competition will not be anymore with a NOLAN or a CAMERON but it will be with PROMPTERS 🙏 — Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) February 26, 2026 The tweet came a day after Varma described AI platform “Seedance 2. 0” as both the “murderer of the film industry” and a force of liberation. In a lengthy post shared on February 25, he argued that advanced AI filmmaking tools could dismantle the traditional studio-driven ecosystem. Referring to Rajamouli’s large-scale productions, Varma noted that established directors command massive budgets due to their proven track records. However, he questioned how many equally gifted storytellers across India remain excluded from such opportunities due to lack of access or funding.
