Dhanush filed a case against Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan for this reason

Nayanthara, a brilliant actress who has been ruling the entertainment industry for the past two decades, has an impressive portfolio of over 75 films. Her Bollywood debut with the film Jawaan in 2023 and her well-deserved title of 'Lady Superstar' are significant milestones in her career. However, a recent controversy has surfaced in which she has accused Dhanush of suing her for Rs 10 crore over a 3-second BTS clip from his film featuring her and her husband Vignesh and now, the fight between the two has escalated even further.

Case filed against Rowdy Pictures Pvt Ltd

On November 27, 2024, it was reported that Dhanush's production house Wunderbar Films Pvt Ltd has filed a lawsuit against Nayanthara, Vignesh and their Rowdy Pictures Pvt Ltd. The lawsuit claims that they have used some scenes from his film, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, in the Netflix docu-drama, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, which is unauthorized.

Dhanush's company has also filed an application urging the Madras High Court to grant it permission to sue Los Gatos Production Services India LLP, an entity through which Netflix reports its content investments in India. Since Los Gatos is based in Mumbai, Dhanush has urged the court to use Section 12 of the Letters Patent. The court heard preliminary arguments from both sides and granted permission, noting that a large part of the cause of action arose within the jurisdiction of the High Court. According to reports, viewers are urged to follow the case closely as Nayanthara will have to respond to the notice in the next hearing.

Nayanthara's bold move against Dhanush has received widespread support and praise. In her open letter, she fearlessly criticised Dhanush, even tagging several prominent personalities from the South Indian film industry. Notably, Shruti Haasan expressed her solidarity with Nayanthara by liking the post. Dhanush's other co-stars including Aishwarya Rajesh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nazriya Fahadh, Anupama Parameswaran, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Manjima Mohan and Gouri G Kishan also extended their support by liking Nayanthara's post.

Why did Nayanthara call Dhanush?

For those who are not familiar with the situation, Nayanthara revealed in her open letter that she had been pursuing Dhanush for two years to get a clip from the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan for her upcoming documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, which is set to release on her 40th birthday. Despite her efforts, Dhanush refused her request. When Nayanthara used a three-second BTS clip from the film, Dhanush filed a Rs 10 crore lawsuit against her. This unjust behavior led to Nayanthara releasing a 3-page open letter to call out the actor.
