RGV further said that it is a mirror of mainstream Bollywood. He said, “#KeralaStory is like a beautiful ghostly mirror, showing the dead face of mainstream Bollywood itself in all its ugliness.” He said that this film will haunt many people in the years to come. “#KeralaStory will forever linger in every story discussion room and every corporate house in Bollywood like a mysterious fog,” he added.

He also said that the film is a reality so the industry does not want to learn anything from it. RGV said, “It is difficult to learn from #KeralaStory because it is easy to copy a lie but very difficult to copy the truth.”
