New Demand: Banning Zee Studios Production House!

The banning culture which was started a few years back is still relevant. If any product or film is objectionable people are not shying away from demanding a ban or boycott on the films. Many films fell prey to the boycott trend and the makers had to face the heat of the trend.

A recent film is an addition to the trend which faced multiple cases in different places. Citing that the religious sentiments were hurt a few organisations leveled serious objections to the film which eventually made the OTT platform bring down the film.

A Tamil film titled Annapoorani starring Nayanthara which had a not-so-good run in the theatres landed in a big controversy after it had an OTT release. More people watched the film after the OTT release and a few Right-wing organisations raised a few objections. Netflix removed the film owning to the criticism.

Adding fuel to the issue, the firebrand leader from Telangana Raja Singh made some crucial comments. The Goshamahal MLA said that the Zee Studios production House should be banned and that issuing an apology would not do anything.

Responding to the apology issued by Zee Studios, Raja Singh said that an apology would not do anything and that many films were made which hurt Hindu sentiments. He even appealed to the Union Home Minister to ban Zee Studios and take the required action.

Talking about the controversies involving the film, the Right-wing bodies did not like the angle of showing a Brahmin girl coking meat wearing a burqa. In one scene a character tells Nayanthara that Lord Ram ate meat.

The two controversies made the film face issues. A few FIRs were filed against the makers. With this Zee Studios, the co-producers of the film issued an apology saying that they have no intentions of hurting any sentiments. Netflix also pulled down the film
