Sudipto Sen’s The Kerala Story has earned Rs 100 crores in the first week of its release. When we reached out for his reaction Sen said, “I feel very happy but I’ve definitely not gone overboard with pride and confidence. I have many more stories to tell and I don’t want to rest on my laurels. I knew this film would be a success. I worked for seven years on the project. I knew its potential.”
A lot of the cynics are asking why The Kerala Story is only about the radicalization of women and why not men?

Replies Sudipto, “It was always meant to be a story of three friends who happen to be women. It was not a planned strategy. Now some producer has offered me a project as a sequel to The Kerala Story about the radicalization of boys.”
Sudipto also sheds light on why his producer Vipul Shah is credited as “creative director” in The Kerala Story. “He served as co-ordinating force among several teams of creative people who worked on the project. The team was diverse and there were a number of difficult locations. Vipul da made it all possible.”
