Sat Nov 16 11:22:59 UTC 2024: ## Nayanthara Accuses Dhanush of “Festering Vengeance” Over Documentary Legal Notice

**CHENNAI, INDIA – November 16, 2024** – Tamil superstar Nayanthara has publicly accused fellow actor Dhanush of “festering vengeance” after he issued a legal notice demanding ₹10 crore for the unauthorized use of brief clips from the film *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* in her upcoming Netflix documentary, *Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale*.

In a strongly worded open letter shared on social media, Nayanthara alleges that Dhanush’s action stems from a personal grudge rather than purely business concerns. The documentary, set to premiere on November 18th, chronicles Nayanthara’s career and personal life, including her marriage to director Vignesh Shivan, who also directed *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*. The disputed clips, totaling just three seconds and filmed on personal devices, are from the 2010 film, produced by Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films.

Nayanthara questions Dhanush’s motives, stating that his legal action is an “all-time low,” particularly given their past friendship. She alleges that Dhanush’s ego was bruised by the success of *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* and that this resentment has lingered for a decade. She claims his displeasure was evident even at award ceremonies following the film’s release.

While promising to respond to the legal notice formally, Nayanthara chose to address the “moral side” of the conflict publicly, highlighting what she sees as Dhanush’s hypocrisy and abuse of power. She challenges the idea that a producer should exert such control over individuals involved in a film’s production, even years after its release.
