Dhanush’s father Kathuri Raja has allegedly reacted to Nayanthara’s open letter. On Saturday, Nayanthara took to Instagram and shared an open letter addressed to Dhanush about not granting her an NOC for using footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan for her documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale. The actor had earlier sued her with Rs 10 crore for using three-second footage in the trailer.
Dhanush’s father Kathuri Raja responds to Nayanthara’s open letter
A report carrying a statement by his father, Kasthuri Raja is doing the rounds on social media. According to The Times of India’s Samayam, Dhanush’s father Kasthuri Raja stated that Nayanthara’s claims of following up with Dhanush for two years are false. In his remark, he also stated that he was unaware about Nayanthara’s relationship with Vignesh Shivan until much after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan released.
He said, “Work is important to us. We are running ahead. There is no time to answer those who chase us or those who talk about us behind our backs. Like me, my son is focused only on work.” According to a portal, “As Nayanthara said, waiting for two years is not true information. He said I don’t want to talk about it,” he added.
Nayanthara in an open letter stated, “After two long years of battling it out with you for an NOC (No Objection Certificate) and waiting for your approval for our Netflix documentary release, we finally decided to give up, re-edit and settle for the current version since you declined to permit the usage of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs or visual cuts, even the photographs to say the least despite multiple requests.”
The open letter also stated, “What’s even more shocking is your legal notice after the release of the trailer of the Netflix Documentary. We were startled to read those lines wherein you questioned the usage of some videos (just 3 seconds) which were shot in our personal devices and that too BTS visuals that are already very much publicly present on social media and claimed a sum of Rs.10 crores as damages for the mere 3 seconds. This is an all time low from you and speaks so much about your character. I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage in audio launches in front of your innocent fans but clearly, you do not practice what you preach, at least not for me and my partner.”
On the other hand, Dhanush’s 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.”
