KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday questioned a plea seeking to block the theatrical release of Malayalam film "Kaalam Paranja Katha", which is said to be based on the Venjaramoodu mass murder case.

The petition was filed by the father of the accused, who argued that the release of the film would affect his son’s right to a fair trial.

When the matter came up for admission, Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas made it clear that the court was not inclined to restrain the release of the movie.
