Sat Nov 16 09:36:40 UTC 2024: ## Nayanthara Accuses Dhanush of Holding Grudge, Demands Rs 10 Crore for Wedding Documentary Footage
**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Actress Nayanthara has publicly accused fellow actor Dhanush of holding a personal grudge and demanding Rs 10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) for the use of a three-second clip from his film *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* in her Netflix wedding documentary. In an open letter released Saturday, Nayanthara detailed the dispute, calling Dhanush’s actions “vile” and a “low move.”
The letter alleges that Dhanush’s refusal to grant permission stems from resentment over the success of *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*, which Nayanthara starred in and was directed by her husband, Vignesh Shivan. Nayanthara claims Dhanush’s ego was bruised by the film’s success and that he has harbored ill-will ever since. She states that the legal notice demanding payment for the brief snippet is not only financially burdensome but also morally reprehensible, impacting the entire documentary team.
The documentary, a highly anticipated project showcasing Nayanthara’s life and marriage, incorporates footage from various films but lacks the crucial inclusion of *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*, a significant moment in her career. Nayanthara assures that she will respond to the legal notice appropriately through legal channels, and questions Dhanush’s continued actions nearly a decade after the film’s release.
While Dhanush has yet to respond to the allegations, Nayanthara’s letter has ignited a heated discussion within the Indian film industry. Her emotional plea for reconciliation and a call to “spread love” contrasts sharply with her accusations of vengeful behavior. The incident highlights the sometimes complex relationships and potential disputes within the entertainment world.
