Nithin
Renji
Panicker,
the
Kasaba
director
stated
that
the
movie
is
not
against
women
or
doesn't
have
any
content
which
intentionally
insults
womankind.
Nithin
was
reacting
to
the
allegations
of
Kerala
Women's
Commission
over
the
movie.
Recently,
the
Women's
Commission
had
harshly
criticised
the
Mammootty
movie.
The
commission
accused
that
the
offensive
dialogues
said
by
the
lead
actor
Mammootty
in
the
movie
are
a
huge
insult
to
the
womankind.
But
Nithin
Panicker,
who
reacted
to
the
commission's
allegations,
stated
that
Kasaba
is
not
a
film
which
intentionally
insults
women,
but
is
a
mere
reflection
of
the
issues
faced
by
the
ladies
in
the
present
society.
The
young
director
stated
that
he
is
not
ready
to
remove
any
dialogues
from
the
movie,
as
they
are
most
appropriate
for
the
situations
conveyed.
He
also
remarked
that
our
society
has
never
been
respectful
towards
the
women.
Reportedly,
the
women's
commission
has
decided
to
take
actions
against
the
movie,
on
the
grounds
of
offensive
content
against
women.
The
commission
also
remarked
that
Kasaba
is
not
a
properly-censored
film.
However,
team
Kasaba
is
planning
to
stick
on
to
their
stand
and
move
legally
against
the
actions
of
Women's
commission.
Mammootty,
the
lead
actor
of
the
movie,
hasn't
commented
on
the
issue
yet.
