00:00 Currently, Ram Mande's inauguration is a big fuzz in the country and amidst this, the
00:06 controversial content of the movie Annapurani has created a mess in the country.
00:12 Ramesh Solanki from Hindu IT cell has registered a complaint against the team of Annapurani
00:20 starring Nayantara, saying the film has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindu people and
00:27 now the film has been removed from the international platform Netflix.
00:32 Annapurani directed by Nilesh Krishna was released in theatres on December 1, 2023
00:39 and after a month on December 29, this Tamil film was available on OTT.
00:47 It's the story of a girl from the Brahmin family who aspires to be a great sheikh but
00:52 her religious background becomes a huge obstacle in her path.
00:57 Her friend Farhan is a big support to her throughout her journey.
01:01 But there are few sins which are sensitive enough to hurt the religious sentiments of
01:06 a group, particularly Hindus.
01:10 Ramesh Solanki elaborated on the allegations he had put on the film.
01:15 He said that the film promotes love jihad.
01:17 Ram Mandir ceremony and the film's release on OTT is not a coincidence.
01:23 Rather, it's a deliberate move by the Netflix and Zee studios.
01:28 There is a scene in the movie where the lead of the film, the Hindu girl, offers namaz
01:35 before making a biryani and her friend tells her story that "even Lord Ram and Sita consumed
01:42 me during their vanvas".
01:45 Ramesh Solanki has registered a complaint against Nilesh Krishna, Jai, Nayanthara, Jatin
01:52 Sethi, R. Ravindran, Puneet Goenka, Sharik Patel and Monika Shergill.
01:58 Netflix didn't reply to this immediately but after the protest at the Mumbai office
02:04 of company by members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad made Netflix remove the movie from the platform.
02:12 Now this may create a peaceful situation in the country.
02:16 Thank you.
