Hyderabad:Tamil superstar Nayanthara created a stir with a public open letter in which she criticised her former co-star Dhanush for sending her a legal notice demanding Rs 10 crore for using visuals from their 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale. Now, several Tamil film industry colleagues have expressed their support for Nayanthara.
In the letter shared on Instagram on November 16, 2024, Nayanthara explained that she had initially requested permission from Dhanush to use clips and songs from the film for the documentary. However, after waiting for two years without receiving a response, she chose to proceed without his No Objection Certificate (NOC). The visuals included in the documentary were taken by fans during behind-the-scenes moments and were already circulating on social media.
Nayanthara expressed shock and disappointment at Dhanush's decision to send a legal notice over a mere three-second clip, demanding an exorbitant Rs 10 crore as compensation. She questioned his character and integrity, accusing him of not practicing what he preached publicly in his audio launches and interviews. She referred to the lawsuit as an 'all-time low' for the actor, suggesting that his actions spoke volumes about his true character.
