**Chennai, India** – Actress Nayanthara has publicly accused Dhanush of causing significant delays to the release of her Netflix documentary, “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale,” and issued a scathing rebuke in a three-page statement. The documentary, originally slated for release after her wedding, is finally set to premiere on Netflix on February 18th.

Nayanthara’s statement details a two-year struggle to obtain clearance from Dhanush to use footage from their film, “Naanum Rowdydhaan,” in the documentary. Despite repeated attempts, including numerous requests for a “No Objection Certificate” (NOC), the necessary permissions were never granted. This forced the filmmakers to revise the documentary, omitting significant portions of her career.

The actress expressed anger and frustration at what she describes as Dhanush’s “continued retaliatory actions,” impacting not only herself and her husband, Vignesh Shivan, but also the entire documentary crew. The statement further highlights a recent legal notice sent by Dhanush over a 3-second clip used in the recently released trailer, demanding a staggering 10 crore rupees (approximately $1.2 million USD) in damages. Nayanthara deemed this action “low-grade” and indicative of Dhanush’s true character, contrasting his public persona with his private actions. The actress also points out the irony of the legal action against a clip already circulating online.

The documentary, a personal journey through Nayanthara’s life and career, has faced considerable delays directly attributed to this ongoing dispute with Dhanush. The statement underscores the emotional toll of these setbacks, particularly the exclusion of “Naanum Rowdydhaan,” a pivotal film in her career and a significant marker of her personal life. The release of “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale” on February 18th will finally offer a glimpse into the actress’ life, but the controversy surrounding its creation casts a long shadow over its premiere.
