      Mammootty and Jyotika’s upcoming film ‘Kaathal – The Core’ is scheduled to hit the theatres on November 23. Ahead of its theatrical release, the film faces a ban in Qatar and Kuwait. It is said that the film's story deals with homosexuality, which is the reason behind the ban.

      Previously, many Indian films have been banned in the two countries due to the film's storylines, which don’t suit their ideologies.

      'Kaathal - The Core' is helmed by Jeo Baby of 'The Great Indian Kitchen'.

      'Kaathal - The Core' will also be screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). The film's synopsis was published recently, which read, ‘George Devassy (Mammootty) is a decorated official who recently has retired from a co-operative bank and lives with his wife Omana (Jyotika, daughter Ferni and Geroge's father Devassy. On a Sunday morning, after church rituals, George decides to contest for the upcoming Panchayat Elections and gives his nomination.’

      ‘But to everyone's shock, two days later his wife Omana files for a divorce in the family court stating that George is in a homosexual relationship for the last few years with Thankan, his friend who runs a driving school in the same village. The news spreads like wildfire across the village and the allegation beccomes an grave issue with George's candidateship becoming doubtful. Omana does not see George's sexual orientation as a crime, only wanting a divorce, but George's strongly opposes these allegations. The film explores the politics of society's mindset towards homosexuals,’ it read.

      'Kaathal - The Core' is a Malayalam drama that is jointly written by Adarsh Sukumaran and Paulson Skaria. Produced by Mammootty Kampany, the film has music composed by Matthews Pulickan, cinematography by Salu K Thomas and editing by Francies Louis.
