Sanal Kumar Sasidharan has withdrawn his Sexy Durga from the International Film Festival of Kerala. The filmmaker, wrote on his social media page, that he decided to do so to protest against the ‘insensitive behaviour’ of the festival authorities.
Sasidharan felt that the festival’s decision to include his film in an ‘insignificant corner’ of the festival called Malayalam Cinema Today, was insulting.
He also alleged that when he communicated his decision to withdraw the film from the festival, an organiser said that he’d get a lot of publicity.
