Nayanthara Starrer Annapoorani Lands In TROUBLE; Case Against Film For Calling Lord Ram 'Meat Eater'

Nayanthara’s new film Annapoorani has courted controversy after the film featured a controversial comment about Lord Ram. The film released on Netflix recently and it featured Nayanthara in the titular role. While the film has received mixed reviews, former Shiv Sena leader Ramesh Solanki has filed a police complaint against the film alleging that the film has hurt ‘sentiments of the Hindu community.’ Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, Solanki said that the film accused the film of being ‘anti-Hindu’ and pointed out some controversial scenes, including one in which Lord Ram is said to be a ‘meat eater.’

Sharing a copy of his complain, Solanki said, “I have filed complain against #AntiHinduZee and #AntiHinduNetflix. At a time when the whole world is rejoicing in anticipation of the Pran Pratishtha of Bhagwan Shri Ram Mandir, this anti-Hindu film Annapoorani has been released on Netflix, produced by Zee Studios, Naad Sstudios and Trident Arts.”

He listed down the scenes that he found problematic. “1. A daughter of Hindu Poojari, offers Namaz to cook Biryani.

2. Love Jihad is promoted in this Film. 3. Farhan (Actor) persuades the actress to eat meat saying that Bhagwan Shri Ram was also a meat eater. @NetflixIndia and @ZeeStudios_ have deliberately made this film and released around the Pran Pratishtha to hurt Hindu sentiments,” he wrote.

Solanki urged Mumbai Police and Maharashtra Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis to take necessary actions against the film.

Netflix India and Nayanthara are yet to react to this complaint.
