**Chennai, India** – The controversy surrounding Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s documentary, “Beyond the Fairytale,” has taken a new turn with the resurfacing of a video showing Dhanush praising Nayanthara’s professionalism. The initial dispute stemmed from a 10-second behind-the-scenes clip from a Dhanush-produced film, allegedly used without permission in the documentary. This led to Dhanush’s legal notice to the couple. Nayanthara’s response further fueled the debate.
Now, a video from the 2013 film “Ethir Neechal,” where Nayanthara made a guest appearance in a dance number, has gone viral. In the video, Dhanush publicly lauded Nayanthara for performing in the song sequence, “Local Boys,” without charging any fee. He recounted how she readily agreed, stating, “She’s a friend; I won’t take payment.” Shivakarthikeyan, the film’s lead, corroborated Dhanush’s statement.
This resurgence of the video comes amidst a wave of support for Nayanthara from fellow actors and the public, many of whom are sharing the video widely online. The controversy continues to dominate headlines, highlighting the complex relationships within the Tamil film industry.
