The Kerala Story starring Adah Sharma in the lead role is continuing its dream run at the domestic box office. After the film's huge success, Sudipto Sen announced that the film will be released in more than 40 countries on May 12. However, despite the film being scheduled to release in the United Kingdom on the same date, the shows were cancelled in the country.
The Kerala Story's release in the UK has been deferred supposedly due to delays caused by the British Board of Film Certification (BBFC). The news came to notice after a British cinema operator said that the screening of the film was cancelled as it didn't receive an age rating on time for the film's release on May 12. The BBFC took to their official Twitter handle and informed people about The Kerala Story going through their classification process. They further added that the film will be available for screening in the UK after receiving age rating and content advice. The tweet read, "The Kerala Story is still going through our classification process. Once the film has received a BBFC age rating and content advice, it will be available to be screened in UK cinemas." Take a look at the tweet below:
