The Kerala Story, the controversial Hindi film, which is set to be released on May 5, has been given the 'A' certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), according to an India Today report.

Besides this, 10 scenes, including an entire interview of a former Kerala chief minister, said to be of V S Achuthanandan, have been deleted from the release print.

Another scene believed to have been cut included "dialogues and inappropriate references to all Hindu Gods". Some dialogues were also reported to be tweaked.

A scene where a dialogue purportedly stating "Indian Communists are biggest hypocrites" have also been removed from the movie.

According to the report, a former Kerala CM claimed in a TV interview that the state would become a Muslim-majority in the next two decades as youngsters were being influenced to convert to Islam. The censor board mandated that this entire interview be deleted from the film.
