Nayanthara apologises for Annapoorani controversy in Insta post
Nayanthara has apologised for the controversy over her film Annapoorani, saying she and her team did not intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments.
Nayanthara issued her apology through an Instagram post with ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and Hindu religious symbol ‘Om’ written on masthead. In her post, Nayanthara said, “In our sincere attempt to share a positive message, we may have inadvertently caused hurt. We did not expect the removal of a censored film, previously showcased in theatres, from the OTT platform. My team and I never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments and we understand that the gravity of this issue. Being someone who wholely believes in God and frequently visits temples accross the country, it is the last thing I would intentionally do. To those whose feelings we’ve touched, I extend my sincere and heartfelt apologies.”
Annapoorani ran into controversies after a few Hindu groups accused it of spreading “anti-Hindu” propaganda. Subsequently, Netflix removed the film from its plaform last week.
