Sat Nov 16 20:35:47 UTC 2024: **Nayanthara Accuses Dhanush of Personal Vendetta Over Documentary Footage**
CHENNAI, INDIA – Actress Nayanthara has publicly accused fellow Tamil actor Dhanush of a personal vendetta, claiming he refused permission to use a three-second clip from their film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan” in her Netflix documentary, “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale.” The documentary, slated for release on November 18th, chronicles Nayanthara’s life and career.
Nayanthara alleges she attempted to obtain permission for the footage for two years, but Dhanush, also the film’s producer, consistently refused. She claims this refusal stems from personal animosity. In response, she issued a legal notice demanding ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) for copyright infringement. She released an open letter expressing her disappointment and hurt over Dhanush’s actions.
The three-second clip holds significant sentimental value, as it is from a film that marks the beginning of her relationship with Vignesh Shivan, her now-husband. The film also holds personal and professional significance as it was their first collaboration.
Dhanush has reportedly declined to comment on the accusations. The legal battle between the two prominent Tamil actors is expected to garner significant attention in the coming weeks.
