Days after its release, the Malayalam film Kaduva landed in another controversy over inappropriate dialogues against differently-abled persons following which its director Shaji Kailas and lead actor Prithviraj Sukumaran tendered an apology on Sunday.
A scene in the film was criticized for insulting differently-abled children and their parents. The dialogues were that differently-abled children are born with such conditions as a result of the sins of their parents.
Prithviraj tendered an apology saying sorry and said that it was a mistake. He tendered the apology sharing Shaji Kailas’ Facebook post.
The State Commission for Persons with Disabilities had issued notices to Shaji Kailas, Supriya Menon and Listin Stephen. Dr Fathima Asla too had responded on it.
