Mumbai Police file FIR against film ‘Annapoorani featuring
Nayanthara for promoting
‘Love Jijad’

Notedly actress Nayanthara made a massive feat with her film ‘Annapoorani’ as it marked her 75th film.

The Nilesh Krishnaa directorial features apart Nayanthara, Jai, and Sathyaraj in lead roles.
The film released in theaters on December 1, 2023 received a thumping response and made a gross of Rs 5 crore at the box office.

According to reports, a complaint has been filed at the LT Marg Police Station in Mumbai, as the complainant claims that it promotes Love Jihad. A scene in the film shows actor Jai saying that Lord Ram was a meat eater. This has hurt
religious sentiments.

‘Annapoorani’ is the Goddess of Food’ and this created a tiff after its digital premiere on OTT platform Netflix.

The complainant also claims the movie misrepresented Valmiki’s Ramayana and criticized Lord Ram.

Notedly, the movie’s story revolves around a girl who dreams and aspires to be a chef, but being a Hindu temple pujari’s daughter, she faces a lot of challenges and struggles to cook non-vegetarian food, and the film created controversy as one of the scenes shows her performing the Islamic prayer Namaz as she covers her head with a scarf before a cooking competition.

Nayanthara, before she competed in the film, remembers that one of her friends from college said that her Biryani tasted exceptional as she performed Namaz before cooking, and she tried the same before the cooking competition. This scene has created controversy as it hurts the religious sentiments of many.

The complainant also urges that unless strict punishment is not given to such celebrities for insulting Hindu religion, the others will always take liberty to insult Hindu religion and culture. What she did should be considered a blasphemy and she should be punished very severly to bring about a lesson for all.
