Judging from the trailer, it seems Nilesh has explored the religious and political beliefs surrounding food. Annapoorani, played by Nayanthara, has nurtured the ambition of becoming a chef since her childhood. Despite her fervent desire, her traditional family imposes restrictions, thwarting her aspirations. In a clever move, she deceives her controlling parents by fabricating plans to pursue an MBA while secretly enrolling in culinary arts. The plot thickens when her religious convictions, which forbid her from cooking meat, clash with her conservative parents' expectations. The central question arises: how will she navigate the emotional and societal hurdles to turn her culinary dream into reality?
