As anticipation builds for the upcoming Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, set to release on November 18, 2024, the South Lady Superstar has taken to Instagram to address a legal notice from actor Dhanush, who raised concerns about the use of footage from their hit film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. In a scathing open letter, Nayanthara expressed her frustration with Dhanush, accusing him of holding a personal grudge and preventing the inclusion of the iconic film in her documentary.
In the three-page letter, Nayanthara vented her anger at Dhanush for not granting permission to use clips, songs, or photos from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, despite multiple requests. She revealed that the documentary team had fought for over two years to secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC), but ultimately had to re-edit the project to exclude the film, which holds sentimental value. "The songs of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan are appreciated till date... Your refusal to let us use them broke my heart," she wrote.
Nayanthara also called out Dhanush's actions after the documentary's trailer release, particularly his legal notice demanding Rs. 10 crore in damages for just a few seconds of BTS footage. She described this move as "an all-time low," accusing Dhanush of being driven by ego and personal vendettas rather than business concerns. "This is an all-time low from you and speaks so much about your character," she said, contrasting his public persona with his actions behind the scenes.
The actor also reflected on the lingering bitterness from their previous collaboration, claiming that Dhanush's displeasure over the film’s success had left lasting scars. She expressed disappointment in Dhanush's actions, calling them a clear display of "schadenfreude"—a German term for taking pleasure in others' misfortune. In the letter, Nayanthara stressed the importance of kindness and decency, urging Dhanush to find peace with the success of others and to embrace a more positive outlook.
In conclusion, Nayanthara urged Dhanush to watch the documentary, hoping it would change his perspective and foster a spirit of love and camaraderie in the industry. "It’s important to #SpreadLove," she wrote, "and I hope and pray that someday you are also fully capable of doing it."
