**Chennai, November 17, 2024** – A major controversy has erupted in the South Indian film industry after actor Dhanush issued a ₹10 crore legal notice to actress Nayanthara and her husband, Vignesh Shivan, over a three-second clip from their film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan” used in Nayanthara’s upcoming Netflix documentary, “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale.”
The documentary, set to release on November 18th, chronicles Nayanthara’s personal life and career journey. The inclusion of the brief clip, a behind-the-scenes moment from “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,” which Shivan directed and Nayanthara starred in, prompted Dhanush’s legal action. Nayanthara had reportedly sought permission to use the footage but was denied.
In response to the legal notice, Nayanthara penned an open letter criticizing Dhanush’s actions, accusing him of using the notice to express personal grievances. She contrasted his public image with his actions towards her and Shivan.
Shivan further fueled the controversy by sharing an old video clip of Dhanush from 2017, advocating for positivity and tolerance. He captioned the post highlighting the irony of Dhanush’s actions, and even posted the disputed three-second clip online for free viewing.
The controversy highlights the complex dynamics within the South Indian film industry, with the dispute between the high-profile stars capturing significant media attention. The documentary’s release is now expected to be even more closely watched.
