On being chosen to play the lead role in the film, Adah added: "The Kerala Story is a Hindi film so they wanted a Bollywood actress who can speak Hindi and Malayalam. I'm a Malayali so I speak both languages. That was one of the reasons they felt I fit the part."

Speaking about the controversy surrounding the film Adah shared: "The makers Vipul Shah and Sudipto Sen have made several reputed films and they will present all statistics. When people watch the film all their questions will be answered and their doubts will be cleared."
