South Indian actress Nayanthara took to twitter and apologized to her fans for hurting Hindu sentiments in his recently released movie 'Annapoorni' on Netflix. Notably the film which was released on the 1st December was recently taken down from the OTT platform after receiving online backlash due to alleged derogatory dialogues against Lord Ram and Laxman. While Nayanthara portraying the role of a Tamilian Brahmin girl slicing chicken and performing Namaz before cooking Biryani also triggered the netizens who called for a boycott of the film.
Meanwhile Nayanthara uploaded a JPEG with 'Jay Shri Ram' in Bold and wrote: Spread Positivity and God Bless before lengthy explanation. She wrote," 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 endeavour 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... In our sincere attempt to share a positive message, we may have inadvertently caused hurt,
"We did not expect removal of a censored film, previously showcased in the theatres from the OTT platform. My team and I never intended to hurt anyone's sentiments and we understand the gravity of this issue. Being someone who wholly believes in God and frequently visits temples across the country, it is the last thing I would intentionally do.
"To those whose feelings we've touched, I extend my sincere & heartfelt apologies. The intention behind Annapoorani was to uplift and inspire, not to cause distress. Over the last two decades, my journey in the film industry has been guided with a singular intention - To spread positivity & foster learning from one another,"<>
