A heated argument between Tamil stars Nayanthara and Dhanush has become the talk of the town. The disagreement started after Dhanush filed a 10 crore lawsuit against Nayanthara, accusing her of using a three-second behind-the-scenes clip from their film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her upcoming Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale. Nayanthara responded strongly, calling Dhanush’s actions unfair and claiming he was trying to create trouble for her project. She expressed her disappointment in an open letter, which quickly gained support from her fans and many in the South Indian film industry.
Nayanthara, Dhanush Feud Explained
Dhanush’s team claims that the behind-the-scenes footage, owned by his production house Wunderbar Films, was used without authorization in the promotional material for Nayanthara’s documentary. This prompted his legal team to send a notice demanding ₹10 crore in damages for copyright infringement. Social media platforms have become a battleground, with fans passionately voicing their opinions.
Dhanush Fans Troll Nayanthara
Supporters of Nayanthara believe the lawsuit is an unnecessary and petty move. They argue that Nayanthara’s intent behind the documentary was pure and aimed at sharing her personal journey. Many fans felt Dhanush could have resolved the matter privately rather than pursuing legal action.
Meanwhile, Dhanush’s fans strongly support his stance, emphasizing his right to protect his intellectual property. They dismissed claims that the lawsuit was a publicity stunt and criticized Nayanthara for allegedly exploiting the controversy to gain attention for her Netflix project.
Some fans pointed out that Nayanthara herself sold her wedding and documentary rights to Netflix, monetizing personal moments, so it’s only fair for Dhanush to assert his rights over his work. Others expressed scepticism, suggesting that the actress’s open letter was a calculated move to garner sympathy.
