Sat Nov 16 11:35:55 UTC 2024: ## Nayanthara Slams Dhanush in Open Letter Amidst Copyright Dispute Over Docuseries
**Chennai, India** – Actress Nayanthara has publicly accused actor-producer Dhanush of a “low” act after he filed a ₹10 crore copyright claim against her upcoming Netflix docuseries, “Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale,” slated for release on November 18th. The dispute centers around a mere three-second clip from Dhanush’s production, *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*, featured in the docuseries trailer.
In a scathing Instagram letter addressed to Dhanush, Nayanthara detailed her attempts to secure permission for the footage, stating she spent two years seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before ultimately re-editing the documentary to avoid further delays. She expressed shock and disappointment at the legal action, particularly given that the footage, described as behind-the-scenes material already widely available online, only appeared for three seconds.
Nayanthara’s letter also alluded to past grievances, referencing allegedly hurtful remarks Dhanush made about *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* following its success. She questioned Dhanush’s actions, suggesting a bruised ego fueled the legal battle, and challenged the notion of a producer wielding excessive control over the cast and crew.
The docuseries, offering an intimate look at Nayanthara’s career, is set to proceed with its scheduled release despite the ongoing legal battle. Dhanush’s representatives have yet to issue a public statement responding to Nayanthara’s accusations. The situation has ignited a significant debate within the Indian film industry, raising questions about copyright issues and the relationships between actors, producers, and filmmakers.
