South cinema’s lady superstar Nayanthara, who made headlines with the film Jawan last year, has been in the news for some time now for the film ‘Annapurni: The Goddess of Food’. His film was released in theaters in October last year. The film ‘Annapurni’ has been in a lot of controversies since its release. Recently this film was released on OTT platform Netflix. Some leaders have called Nayanthara’s film anti-Hindu. After the protests against the film, the film ‘Annapurni’ has now been removed from Netflix.
In fact, former Shiv Sena leader Ramesh Solanki criticized the film ‘Annapurni’ by calling it anti-Hindu, after which an FIR was registered against the producers and Nayanthara. A few days ago, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Shriraj Nair had also condemned the film ‘Annapurni’ for its derogatory comments on Lord Ram. He warned the film’s banner Zee Studios and demanded immediate removal of the film from Netflix. In response, Zee Studios apologized to VHP and removed ‘Annapurni’ from Netflix.
We are happy that @ZeeStudios_ have realized their mistake and pls note we have never ever interfered in the creative freedom of any film but Hindu Bashing and mocking will never be tolerated..@ARanganathan72 @AshwiniUpadhyay @Sunil_Deodhar @RatanSharda55 pic.twitter.com/nC9AXpaNyu
