After "S Durga" director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan on Tuesday hit out at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) for its "bad shape", the organisers of the gala questioned his changed opinion.

The censor board has ordered a re-examination of Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's controversial film "S Durga", derailing its court-ordered screening at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), which ends today.

"S Durga" director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan today said a majority of members of the Indian Panorama jury have voted in favour of the Malayalam film being screened at the International Film Festival of India, which ends today.

After a stand-off which lasted several days, IFFI organisers have now written to "S Durga" director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan asking him to submit a censored version of the film for consideration.

Instead of issuing an apology, the director took to Facebook again to say that people could not decipher the humour from his post.

After this backlash, the 39-year-old wrote a detail post on FB to clarify his position.

His statement created a huge outrage on social media where fans slammed the director for his remark.
