Kolkata: Days after the Supreme Court stayed the ban on 'The Kerala Story' in West Bengal, the movie is still not running in most of the halls in the state.
The hall owners find it 'difficult' to accommodate 'The Kerala Story' as a new line-up of movies has already been booked for the coming days.
"This is a blockbuster movie but we are sorry as all slots are filled up for the next two weeks. It's not possible for us to cancel the booked slots to make a place for the new one. After two or three weeks we can think about the screening of 'The Kerala Story'," said a theatre owner.
After the Supreme Court stayed the ban on film in West Bengal, the State Government has still not issued any new circular.
After the ban was lifted, director Sudipto Sen said, "We are in constant touch with distributors from West Bengal. We are receiving calls from hall owners that they are receiving calls not to show the film." (with Agency inputs)
