CHENNAI: The makers of actor Nayanthara's upcoming film 'Annapoorani - The Goddess of Food' released the trailer of the film on Monday.

The trailer opens with a televised cooking competition held in Tiruchy to find out India's best chef in which Nayanthara (Annapoorani), a young small-town woman coming from an conservative Brahmin family, aspiring of being one, participates.

When her parents stop her from aspiring of becoming the best chef, she says, "If you follow your heart, not just one in a million, but everyone can become a superstar."

The trailer then follows on to show how she meets her supportive lover Jai's character Farhan at a culinary school, and how she faces her problems, breaks the superstitions, fights against traditions and values held by her conservative family and tries to achieve her dream.

The trailer promises a heartfelt, inspiring film that also questions many social norms.
