For those unaware, Nayanthara called out actor Dhanush K Raja for accusing her of copyright infringement over the content she used in the upcoming Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. According to her open letter, the makers had been trying to acquire the NOC (No Objection Certificate) to use the content from her and Dhanush's film, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.
The film, which was produced by Dhanush under Wunderbar Films, marked the first collaboration of now husband and wife, Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara. However, it is alleged that the production company did not allow the use of the footage from the film for 2 years now, due to which they had to re-edit the contents of the documentary. Cut to the present day, the makers of the documentary had used BTS footage from the film’s sets, which was captured from personal phones.
Alleging these contents to be part of the film, Dhanush and his legal team launched a lawsuit against Nayanthara and are asking a compensation of Rs 10 crores for copyright infringement. This led to the actress issuing an open letter.
