**CHENNAI, INDIA –** Actress Nayanthara has publicly accused fellow actor Dhanush of preventing her from using footage from their 2015 film *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* in her upcoming Netflix documentary, *Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale*. In an open letter, Nayanthara alleges that Dhanush is holding a personal grudge against her and her husband, director Vignesh Shivan, and demanded ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) for a mere three-second clip of songs from the film.
Nayanthara’s letter highlighted the disparity in their positions within the industry, emphasizing her self-made status and contrasting it with Dhanush’s privileged background. She described the demand as a “low” move.
The actress’s public appeal has garnered significant support from several of Dhanush’s former co-stars. Parvathy Thiruvothu and Anupama Parmeswaran, among others, publicly expressed their solidarity on social media. Nazriya Fahadh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Gouri G Kishan also showed their support by liking Nayanthara’s post.
This public dispute follows recent tension between the parties, adding another layer of complexity to the already high-profile situation. The incident has sparked significant discussion amongst fans and industry professionals alike.
