What was the controversy surrounding the film all about?
According to a report in ONMANORAMA, the Film Employees Federation of Kerala general secretary, B Unnikrishnan, has reacted to the CBFC's demand to change the title of the film. He said, "I have asked him to move legally against such a strange demand by the Censor Board. FEFKA will also hold a different kind of protest. Such censorship cannot be encouraged in Malayalam cinema and will not allow it.
As per reports, the CBFC has argued that a woman who has been abused cannot be named Janaki, as it is another name for goddess Sita. But, reportedly, the makers are planning to postpone the film's release as they do not wish to change the name of the movie.
Janaki v/s State of Kerala is about Janaki, an IT professional from Bangalore, returning to her hometown in Kerala for a quiet vacation. But her peace is shattered when she becomes the victim of a horrific incident. Directed by Pravin Narayanan, the movie stars Suresh Gopi, Anupama Parameswaran, Divya Pillai, Shruti Ramachandran, Askar Ali, Baiju Santhosh, and Shobi Thilakan among others. Earlier, it was scheduled to release in cinemas on June 27.
