Nayanthara slams Dhanush for sending her a legal notice of Rs 10 crore

On November 16, Nayanthara lashed out at Dhanush for sending her a legal notice and demanding Rs 10 crore. She took to Instagram and shamed Dhanush for sending her legal notice of ₹10 crore. She began her lengthy note by writing, “A well-established actor like you, with the support and blessings of your father and your brother, an ace director, needs to read and understand this. Cinema as we all know is a fight for survival for people like me: a self-made woman with no links in the industry and someone who had to struggle my way to the position I hold today. I’d owe this to my work ethic which is no secret to all who know me but more importantly, to the goodwill of the audience and my film fraternity.”

She continued, “The release of my Netflix documentary has been much awaited by not just me but so many of my fans and well-wishers. It took a whole team of collaborators and film friends to pull together the project through all the difficulties that were thrown at us. The vengeance that you have been festering against the film, my partner and I, doesn’t just affect us but the people who have given their effort and time towards this project. This Netflix Documentary about me, my life, my love and marriage includes clips of many of my industry well-wishers who have graciously contributed memories from multiple films, but sadly does not include the most special and important film, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.”

For the unversed, Dhanush refused to grant her permission and instead sent her a legal notice for using stills from his film. His lawyer had sent a legal notice to Nayanthara. The notice reads, “My client is the producer of the film and your client has stated that my client has not commissioned any person to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage and the said statement is baseless and your client is to put strict proof of the same.”
