Sun Nov 17 04:33:52 IST 2024: **Nayanthara Accuses Dhanush of Cyberbullying and Defamation Over Documentary Dispute**
CHENNAI, INDIA – Actress Nayanthara has issued a scathing statement accusing actor Dhanush of cyberbullying and defamation, alleging a sustained campaign against her and her documentary, “Nayanthara Beyond the Fairytale.” The statement, released on November 17th, details a two-year struggle to secure the necessary permissions to include clips from their hit film, “Naanum Rowdydhaan,” in the Netflix documentary.
Nayanthara claims that despite repeated attempts, Dhanush refused permission, forcing them to remove all footage from the film. She highlights the irony of this refusal, given the enduring popularity of “Naanum Rowdydhaan,” and suggests the rejection is motivated by personal animosity.
The actress further alleges that Dhanush sent a legal notice demanding ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) in damages for a three-second clip used in the documentary’s trailer. She describes this action as “bizarre” and indicative of Dhanush’s true character, contrasting it with his public persona.
Nayanthara states that while she’s prepared to legally challenge Dhanush’s actions, she is deeply hurt by his persistent attacks. She emphasizes that while business competition is unavoidable in any field, personal attacks are unacceptable, particularly from a public figure. She ends her statement by expressing hope that Dhanush will reconsider his actions and focus on spreading positivity, rather than negativity. The statement concludes with a plea to the public to view her documentary, suggesting it will foster a more positive perspective.
