Annapoorani Returns to Streaming on JioHotstar in Hindi From Oct. 1 After Netflix Takedown

The return follows a Netflix removal over religious-sentiment complaints that prompted formal apologies.

Overview

  • JioHotstar is set to stream Annapoorani starting October 1, 2025, with availability reported only in Hindi.
  • Coverage indicates the Tamil version is not part of the rollout on the platform.
  • Reports say the re-release removes contentious portions and trims the runtime by about 10 minutes.
  • The film was pulled from Netflix worldwide after accusations of promoting ‘love jihad,’ an FIR in Jabalpur, and apologies from Zee Studios and Nayanthara.
  • Released in 2023 and directed by Nilesh Krishnaa, the drama stars Nayanthara and Jai and explores questions of tradition, faith, and culinary ambition.
