The petition argues that the film contains “malicious and outlandish statements that defame the entire state without any basis.”

It further states, “The film seeks to isolate Kerala and the people of Kerala from the rest of India. Moreover, the name is a deliberate attempt to portray as real a more or less speculative fear of the writer or director.
