Sun Nov 17 16:37:53 UTC 2024: ## Lady Superstar Nayanthara Slams Dhanush in Public Feud Over Rs 10 Crore Lawsuit
**CHENNAI, INDIA** – A major controversy has erupted in the Tamil film industry, pitting superstar Nayanthara against actor and producer Dhanush. Nayanthara, known as the “Lady Superstar,” publicly accused Dhanush of suing her for ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) over a three-second behind-the-scenes video clip from their 2014 film *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*.
The dispute stems from Nayanthara’s upcoming Netflix documentary, “Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale.” She claims she sought permission to use the footage for two years but was denied. Following this refusal, her team used the brief clip, resulting in the substantial lawsuit.
In an open letter, Nayanthara criticized Dhanush’s actions, calling them “an all-time low” and questioning his character. The letter further reveals a previously unknown tension between the two stars. A resurfaced video from the 2016 Filmfare Awards shows Nayanthara publicly apologizing to Dhanush for her performance in *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan*, revealing that he “absolutely hated” it. Dhanush was present at the awards ceremony and reacted with laughter to Nayanthara’s confession.
The incident has sparked significant debate online, with public opinion divided. The ₹10 crore lawsuit and Nayanthara’s public response mark a dramatic escalation in what appears to be a long-standing personal and professional conflict between two of Tamil cinema’s biggest names. The situation will undoubtedly continue to dominate headlines as it unfolds.
