Updated: Nayanthara, star of Tamil-language film “Annapoorani” that was pulled from Netflix after complaints from Hindu groups, has broken her silence on the subject.

The actor began her post on X with the salutation “Jai Shri Ram,” meaning glory to Hindu god Rama, often used by Hindus to greet each other.

“I am writing this note with a heavy heart and a genuine desire to address the recent turn of events concerning our film, ‘Annapoorani.’ Crafting ‘Annapoorani’ was not just a cinematic endeavor but a heartfelt pursuit of inspiring resilience and instilling the spirit of never giving up. It aimed to mirror life’s journey, where we learn that obstacles can be overcome with sheer willpower,” Nayanthara wrote.

“In our sincere attempt to share a positive message, we may have inadvertently caused hurt. We did not expect the removal of a censored film, previously showcased in theatres, from the Ott [streaming] platform.

Nayanthara’s Tamil film ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food’ to release on Dec 1
Image
Superstar actress Nayanthara is gearing up for her Tamil film ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food’ with the release date officially confirmed as December 1. The actress took to her official X account and wrote: “‘Annapoorani’ releasing worldwide on Dec 1st.”

The movie’s production house also took to their X and wrote: “’Annapoorani’ is bringing you a feast and will see you in theatres on the 1st of December. Get Ready!”

The plot details are still not fully out, though the film’s team had recently dropped a teaser in which Nayanthara seemed to hail from an orthodox, upper caste household. A massive foodie and a dreamer, Nayanthara’s character seemingly leaves her old life behind to chase her dreams of most likely being a cook.

This is mainly alluded to by the scene of her character seemingly reading various cookbooks detailing various vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, hiding them behind her academic books.
