Nayanthara and Dhanush Face Legal Dispute Over Netflix Documentary Footage

The actors, who were recently seen avoiding each other at a wedding, are embroiled in a conflict over NOC permissions and a ₹10 crore damages claim.

Nayanthara and Dhanush attended producer Aakash Baskaran's wedding but appeared to avoid each other, reflecting ongoing tensions between the two actors.
The dispute centers on the use of a three-second clip from the 2015 film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,' produced by Dhanush, in Nayanthara's Netflix documentary 'Beyond the Fairytale.'
Dhanush's legal team issued a notice demanding the removal of the footage and seeking ₹10 crore in damages, citing copyright infringement.
Nayanthara criticized Dhanush in an open letter, accusing him of refusing NOC permissions for the documentary and acting out of personal grudges rather than business concerns.
In contrast, Nayanthara publicly thanked several other producers, including Shah Rukh Khan and Chiranjeevi, for granting NOCs without delay for her documentary.
