Sat Nov 16 10:38:09 UTC 2024: ## Nayanthara Accuses Dhanush of “Vengeance” in Scathing Open Letter

**CHENNAI, INDIA** – Popular South Indian actress Nayanthara has publicly accused fellow actor and producer Dhanush of harboring a personal grudge and engaging in “vengeful” behavior. In a scathing Instagram post, Nayanthara detailed a dispute over the use of footage from their 2015 film, *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*, in her upcoming Netflix documentary.

Dhanush, who produced *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* under his Wunderbar Films banner, allegedly demanded ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) for the use of a mere three-second song snippet. Nayanthara, who considers the film “the most special and important” of her career, described this as a “low” move, particularly given the film’s success and the long-standing relationship between the actors.

The actress claims Dhanush’s actions stem from a lingering resentment over the film’s box office triumph and accusations made against him prior to its release, allegations she says have left “unhealable scars.” She further alleges that Dhanush’s refusal to grant permission is driven by personal animosity toward her and her husband, Vignesh Shivan, who directed *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*.

While acknowledging Dhanush’s legal right to control the film’s usage, Nayanthara appealed to his conscience, emphasizing the moral implications of his actions and the impact on the documentary’s collaborators. She concluded her letter by urging reconciliation and a more compassionate approach. The dispute, which includes a legal notice sent by Dhanush, is expected to further escalate.
