Who does not know the actress Nayanthara, who is called the Lady Superstar of the South? Nayanthara is coming soon with an unknown aspect of her life. The documentary film ‘Nayanthara Beyond the Fairytale’ based on the life of the actress is going to be released soon on Netflix. The trailer of this film was released just a few days ago. The makers used music from the Tamil film ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ in the trailer, which created a problem.

Nayanthara wrote an open letter to Dhanush

The film ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ was released in the year 2015. In this, Nayanthara worked with Vijay Sethupathi. Its producer was famous South actor Dhanush. Dhanush has sent a legal notice to Nayanthara for using the song and some scenes of ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ in the trailer of her documentary film. Nayanthara herself has claimed this. He has also written a long open letter to Dhanush.

In this letter, Nayanthara told how after overcoming all the difficulties, she along with her partner and team has prepared the documentary. Nayanthara told that she had been seeking permission from Dhanush for a long time to use the songs and lyrics of ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’, but Dhanush had refused for this, which hurt the actress. Further, Nayanthara told that she received a legal notice from Dhanush’s team for using the three-second song and visual of ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ in the trailer of the documentary, which was very shocking for her.

The actress wrote in her open letter, ‘We were shocked to read those lines where you questioned the use of some videos (of 3 seconds). The videos which were shot on our personal devices and were BTS visuals, are already available among the public on social media. You demanded Rs 10 crore for that video of just 3 seconds. This is very despicable of you and shows what kind of character you have. I wish you were the person you pretend to be to your poor innocent fans at the audio launch. They themselves don’t follow at all what you say. At least not for me and my partner.

He further wrote, ‘Not only I but many of my fans and well-wishers are also waiting for the release of my Netflix documentary. With the contribution of collaborators and film friends, we have prepared this film facing every difficulty. That hatred that you are giving us in return for this film makes a difference not only to me and my partner but to everyone who works hard on these projects.

In her letter, Nayanthara has also claimed that for the last two years she and her team have been trying to get NOC (No Objection Certificate) from Dhanush for her Netflix documentary. When he got a negative answer from Dhanush, he thought it better to leave the matter. In such a situation, he got the documentary re-edited and decided to release the new version. The documentary film based on Nayanthara’s life will stream on Netflix on November 18. In this, the story of her becoming a lady superstar and her broken relationships and marriage will also be shown.
