AR Rahman shares video of Hindu wedding in mosque amid 'The Kerala Story' row

Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman has shared a video of a Hindu wedding being performed in a mosque in Kayamkulam three years ago.

While the video is quite old, the Oscar winner shared it on his Twitter now, amid the controversy surrounding the film, The Kerala Story.

"Bravo... love for humanity has to be unconditional and healing," Rahman wrote as he shared the video with his over 24 million Twitter followers.

The almost two-minute clip, reported by independent digital platform The News Minute, shows a Hindu couple tying the knot in a mosque in Kerala's Alappuzha city. On January 19, 2020, Sarath Sasi and Anju Ashok tied the knot at the Cheravally Muslim Jamaath mosque located in Alappuzha district of Kerala.

According to the video, the bride's mother who was struggling financially had approached the mosque's committee for help with her daughter's wedding.

"The Kerala Story", a controversial new film, is based on alleged radicalisation and conversion of young Hindu women to Islam in Kerala, before inducting them into terrorist outfit Islamic State (IS).

Starring Adah Sharma, the film is written and directed by Sudipto Sen, and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The film releases Friday.
