FIR filed against Nayanthara’s movie

Agencies :
Mumbai police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the movie ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food’, starring Nayanthara, over alleged promotion of ‘Love Jihad’. The controversy gained prominence after the LT Marg police
station received a complaint expressing concerns about the movie’s content, according to reports by The Statesman.
The movie, centered on Nayanthara’s character, Annapoorani, aspiring to be a chef, confronts the struggle of breaking away from her orthodox Hindu family. As the daughter
of a priest, she grapples with societal expectations, challenging traditions
to follow her culinary aspirations including experimenting with
non-vegetarian dishes.
The FIR contends that the movie promotes the concept of ‘Love Jihad’, primarily through the romantic subplot featuring Annapoorani and Farhaan, played by Jai.
According to the complaint, Farhaan’s character allegedly distorts the Valmiki Ramayana by suggesting that Lord Rama, Lakshmana, and Mata Sita consumed
meat during their exile. This reinterpretation has raised concerns about
the potential impact on
religious sentiments within the narrative.
