Legal Face-Off: Dhanush’s Bold 24-Hour Ultimatum After Nayanthara’s Open Letter
Dhanush and Nayanthara clash over copyright in Netflix's Beyond The Fairytale. Legal notices fly as a 3-second clip from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan sparks controversy, with ₹10 crore damages at stake. Unfolding drama here.
The ongoing legal tussle between actor Dhanush and actress Nayanthara over copyright issues in the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale has taken a dramatic turn. Dhanush's lawyer has issued a formal notice demanding the removal of allegedly infringing content within 24 hours. Failure to comply may result in legal action, with damages of ₹10 crore being sought.
The dispute centers around a three-second clip from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, produced by Dhanush, used in the documentary. Nayanthara claims this footage, shot behind-the-scenes, was from personal devices and is already publicly available. In response, Dhanush’s legal team refuted her claims, asserting ownership over all production-related materials.
Nayanthara, in a candid open letter, criticized Dhanush for his actions, calling it an "all-time low" and questioning his ethics. She expressed frustration over prolonged negotiations for approvals, forcing re-edits of the documentary.

The controversy has drawn attention from fans and industry peers alike, further fueled by a social media post from Nayanthara’s husband, Vignesh Shivan, who urged spreading positivity, indirectly addressing Dhanush.
The Netflix documentary, coinciding with Nayanthara’s 40th birthday, has now been overshadowed by this escalating legal battle.
