Nayanthara Slams Dhanush For Demanding Money For Using His Film's Footage In Her Netflix Documentary

Chennai, November 16 - In a dramatic turn of events, actress Nayanthara has slammed actor Dhanush in an open letter to him. The controversy erupted when Dhanush denied permission to use the footage of his production venture Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) in Nayanthara's upcoming Netflix docuseries, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. ## In a lengthy note to the actor, Nayanthara accused Dhanush of demanding a 10 crore sum for using a mere 3 seconds of a video clip from the movie in the documentary. The actress said in the note that she and her team gave up the idea of using the clips of the film since Dhanush denied giving NOC despite several requests. ## "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", Nayanthara said in the letter.## The actress also seemingly character-shamed Dhanush by alleging that he is not the person he portrays to be on the stage in the audio launches in front of his fans. "This is an all-time low from you and speaks so much about your character", she added.## #SpreadLove and Only Love 🫶🏻 pic.twitter.com/6I1rrPXyOg— Nayanthara✨ (@NayantharaU) November 16, 2024 ## Stay tuned...
