**Chennai, India** – A public dispute has erupted between actors Nayanthara and Dhanush, longtime friends in the Tamil film industry. Nayanthara has released a three-page statement condemning Dhanush for refusing to grant a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the use of footage from their film *Naanum Rowdydhaan* in her documentary, *Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale*.
According to the statement, Dhanush is demanding ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) in compensation for the use of just three seconds of footage. Nayanthara expressed her disappointment and frustration over this unexpected turn of events, particularly given her past contributions to Dhanush’s projects, including reportedly providing free dance performances.
The conflict may stem from financial disagreements related to *Naanum Rowdydhaan*, which Dhanush produced. While the film was a box office success, industry sources suggest Dhanush incurred losses due to the film’s budget exceeding its initial estimate by a significant amount (from ₹6 crore to over ₹15 crore). This financial strain, some speculate, may be the reason behind Dhanush’s refusal to grant the NOC.
Fellow actresses Parvathy and Aishwarya Lakshmi have publicly voiced their support for Nayanthara. Dhanush is expected to respond to the accusations. The situation has left fans speculating about the true nature of the conflict between the once close collaborators.
