Nayanthara has had a great 2023 with continuous releases and her Bollywood debut Jawan breaking records. The actress ended the year with the release of Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food in which she essays the role of an aspiring chef, and ends up joining a culinary school, by lying to her orthodox Hindu family about pursuing MBA. It seems that her simple film about a chef’s dreams has landed in legal trouble and more so, is being accused of promoting ‘love jihad’, a concept that is based on people being converted to Islamic fundamentalists.

In the film, Nayanthara is depicted as a daughter of Hindu priest, who believe eating or touching non-vegetarian food is a sin. However, Annapoorani believes in the art of cooking and aspires to be a renowned chef one day. When she joins a culinary school to improve her skills, she is forced to encounter situations where she has to not only touch meat but also learn the skill of making non-vegetarian food.
Furthermore, the film also sees her falling in love with one of her colleagues and batchmate, Farhan. In one of the scenes, Farhan is seen discussing Ramayana and making claims that Ram, Sita, and Laxman consumed meat during their exile which has not gone down well with this complainant. In another scene, it is being shown that Nayanthara is wearing black cloth over her head and reading the namaz because she was advised by one of her Muslim friends, that she often follows this ritual before starting to make ‘biryani’. Both these scenes seem to have caused some stir and it has led a Mumbai-based resident to file a complaint against the movie at the LT Marg police station in the city.
Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food, which released on Netflix earlier this week, is directed by Nilesh Krishnaa and also features Sathyaraj, Karthik Kumar, KS Ravikumar, Redin Kingsley, among others in key roles.
