For the uninitiated, Nayanthara recently called out actor Dhanush K. Raja for accusing her of copyright infringement regarding content used in her upcoming Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. In her open letter, Nayanthara revealed that the makers had been trying to acquire a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to include visuals from her film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary.
The film, produced by Dhanush, marked the debut collaboration between Nayanthara and her now-husband Vignesh Shivan. The visuals in question were intended to be featured in the documentary exploring her personal life. However, despite repeated requests for an NOC, the footage has not been made available, even after two years.
Furthermore, the makers of the documentary opted to use behind-the-scenes (BTS) footage from the sets of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, captured on personal phones. However, as revealed in Nayanthara's open letter, Dhanush's lawyers have filed a lawsuit against her, accusing her of copyright infringement and demanding compensation of ₹10 crores.
These developments are said to have prompted the actress to release her open letter, which has since garnered widespread support from several industry insiders. Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, directed by Vignesh Shivan, featured Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara in the lead roles.
The romantic action comedy, released in 2015, revolves around the story of a policewoman’s son striving to become a local don by engaging in illegal activities. Amidst his endeavors, he encounters Kadhambari, a deaf woman searching for her father, and falls in love with her. The film explores their journey, the challenges they face, and whether she ultimately reunites with her father.
