The controversy surrounding the release of Suresh Gopi's upcoming film, Janaki v/s State of Kerala, has yet to be settled. The latest news suggests that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is said to have instructed the movie's makers to silence any mention of Janaki from the courtroom drama in an attempt to prevent a large financial setback.

The most recent developments in the dispute between Janaki and the State of Kerala

The producers are not relieved by the CBFC's instruction to refrain from mentioning Janaki in the courtroom drama. However, it is still unclear why the word shouldn't be used in the film. Additionally, it's unknown if the board has issued a written statement about the new directive. The Kerala High Court granted the film a positive hearing, and it may be released on July 17, according to media.

Justice N Nagaresh announced at the July 2 hearing that he would watch the movie before making a ruling on the producer's petition for the film's certification.

The Janaki v/s State of Kerala controversy is all about that.

The film has been the center of attention because of the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) dispute over the title and the protagonist's name in Janaki v/s State of Kerala. The Central Board of Film Certification was worried about the name of the protagonist, a victim of sexual assault who is pursuing justice, before the movie's theatrical release. The Kerala High Court questioned the rationale behind the CBFC's demand for changes at its most recent session.

In the meanwhile, organizations like AMMA and FEFKA protested CBFC's request for modifications to the movie by going on strike on June 30. The board's decision, which has an impact on an artist's creative liberty, was also opposed by a large number of performers and directors. This film could not be shown in theaters on June 27 as a result of the board's ruling. The manufacturers have also been devastated by the brief halt to the release.
