Hyderabad: Nayanthara has finally spoken out about her ongoing feud with Dhanush, addressing the controversy surrounding her Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale. In an interview, Nayanthara clarified that her open letter to Dhanush was not a publicity stunt, but rather a necessary response to the situation. The South superstar explained that she had reached out to Dhanush's manager to secure the rights to use a four-line segment from his 2015 production, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, in her documentary.
However, Dhanush's refusal and subsequent legal notice led to her writing the open letter. Nayanthara emphasised that the footage in question was a brief behind-the-scenes shot taken by a crew member, not official footage. She felt that Dhanush escalated the issue after the trailer release, making her feel "unfairly treated."
She further added: "For someone like Dhanush, who is so respected by his fans and peers, I thought he would just let it go. But when the trailer came out, the issue was blown out of proportion. It felt unfair, and I had to speak out."
