Nayanthara’s film, Annapoorani, which was released in 2023, encountered significant criticism from audiences following its debut on Netflix on December 29, 2023. The film sparked controversy due to some scenes that were perceived as offensive to religious beliefs, leading to its removal from the streaming service. However, recent updates indicate that it is set to return to OTT platforms soon.
According to some latest buzz, Annapoorani will be made available on OTT again, but this time it will not be released on Netflix, but on Simply South. The tentative date of its release is fixed as August 9, 2024.
In a recent post on X by the streaming platform, Simply South confirmed the release of Annapoorani again. However, despite its return, there is no confirmation whether the film would not be available for viewing in India and as such, there has been no update on the same as well.
For the unversed, issues regarding certain scenes of Annapoorani surmounted when an FIR was lodged against the makers of the movie by Ramesh Solanki, the founder of the Hindu IT cell. He claimed that particular scenes in the film provoked and offended the Hindu religious sentiments. He further requested for legal action against the actors as well.
Apart from her recognition as the lady superstar in South Cinema, Nayanthara also wins hearts with her social media presence. A few days back, the diva dropped a glimpse of her all-time favorite and classic film, Maine Pyaar Kia, starring Salman Khan and Bhagyashree.
In her personal life, Nayanthara is married to filmmaker Vignesh Shivan, and the couple are parents to their twin sons, Uyir and Ulag. The doting parents often drop happy glimpses from their life on social media.
Coming to her work front, Nayanthara has a plethora of films on cards, including Test, Mannangati Since 1960, Dear Students, Good Bad Ugly, Toxic and others.

Jessica Simpson gave a fitting reply and shut down rumors that she’s drinking alcohol again. On August 5, the singer posted a photo on Instagram celebrating her son Ace’s 11th birthday. She received an unrelated comment from a follower who told her to “STOP DRINKING!”
The singer responded quickly, dismissing the claim: “I haven’t wanted or touched alcohol since October 2017, and it has been the best decision I’ve made for myself and for my family,” she wrote. “Thank you for your concern, but you have me very misunderstood. Sending love your way,” she added. Following her response, the Instagram user immediately apologized for the unfounded assumption.
Simpson has been sober since October 2017 after a brief struggle with substance use. In addition to son Ace, Simpson is mom to daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, whom she shares with her husband Eric Johnson.
The singer has been transparent and authentic about her struggle with embracing sobriety. In 2021, she celebrated her progress by sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram, describing how she felt the day she decided to begin her sobriety journey. She referred to herself as an unrecognizable version and admitted she needed serious self-discovery.
She noted, “There is so much stigma around the word ‘alcoholism’ or the label of an ‘alcoholic,'” and realized that her true work was to accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self-sabotage.
Simpson now feels free from negative feelings and admitted that the issue wasn’t the alcohol but within herself. She lacked self-love and respect. However, she has made peace with the unpleasant parts of her past and is now honest and candid, with courage in her soul and power in her mind.
In January 2020, Simpson opened up to PEOPLE about her journey in a cover story interview surrounding her memoir titled Open Book. She said that she knew she had reached rock bottom when on Halloween 2017 she was zoning out and was unable to dress her kids for the event.
“I was terrified of letting them see me in that shape,” Simpson wrote in her book. “I am ashamed to say that I don’t know who got them into their costumes that night.”
The next day she told her close group of friends who came to visit her that something did not feel right and if it was the alcohol that was causing all the issues, she needed to truly stop it.
She also added that “it was a long, hard emotional journey” — but “there’s just no better gift.”
