Film ‘Annapoorani’ removed from Netflix, Zee Studio apologises for hurting religious sentiments

Zee Studios has issued an apology to Hindutva group Vishva Hindu Parishad for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus and Brahmins due to scenes in the film Annapoorani, the Deccan Herald reported on Thursday.

“We have no intentions as co-producers of the film to hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus and Brahmins community and would like to hereby apologize for the inconvenience caused and the hurt caused to the sentiments of respective communities,” the letter said.

The film has been removed from streaming platform Netflix after it received backlash from Hindutva groups who alleged that some scenes from the film project deity Ram as a meat eater.
