Least Update: Nayanthara Dhanush Row: How the Naanum Rowdy Dhaan Fallout Has Led To A Legal Battle…. Check In

Nayanthara has publicly called out Dhanush for suing her over the use of a BTS

Lady superstar Nayanthara has publicly called out Dhanush for suing her over the use of a BTS video from the Naanum Rowdy Dhaan sets in her upcoming documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. In an open letter, she accused Dhanush of ignoring her request for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to include the footage in the film and levelled serious accusations at him. Let’s take a look at the controversy that has surrounded the film.

After her 2011 Telugu film Sri Rama Rajyam, Nayanthara announced that she was quitting films. By then, she had faced a lot of personal issues, including intense media attention on her relationships with Silambarasan and Prabhudheva. These challenges led her to leave the industry at the peak of her career. It was director Atlee who brought her back with Raja Rani in 2013, which also marked his debut. The film became a big hit. However, her later films didn’t bring the same level of success.

Nayanthara’s Career Hattrick

Two years later, Nayanthara’s career took off with hits like Thani Oruvan and Maya. In 2015, she scored a hat-trick with Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, directed by Vignesh Shivan. During the shoot, rumors of a romance between Nayanthara and Vignesh started to spread, especially after intimate photos of them surfaced online. Actor Mansoor Ali Khan’s teasing remark about the couple talking to each other even in the scorching sun only added fuel to the fire, confirming their relationship.

Nayanthara And Dhanush’s Fallout During Naanum Rowdy Dhaan

Before Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, Nayanthara and Dhanush worked together in Yaaradi Nee Mohini, where they became great friends, and it showed in all their interviews during the film’s release. When Dhanush decided to produce Naanum Rowdy Dhaan for Vignesh Shivan, it seemed like a big opportunity for the film. But behind the scenes, there were rumours that Dhanush wasn’t too happy with his role as a producer while the film was being made in 2015.

Dhanush’s frustration with Naanum Rowdy Dhaan reportedly stemmed from the budget spiraling out of control. It was Nayanthara’s confidence in the project and Vignesh Shivan that helped convince him to push through and complete the film. Despite its box-office success, rumours claim the film wasn’t profitable for Dhanush, as he had to sell it at a lower price due to delays and overspending. While distributors walked away with profits, Dhanush supposedly didn’t. Of course, the true financial details of the film are known only to him.

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, a hit, was a big moment in Nayanthara’s career and also in her personal life. She went on to marry Vignesh Shivan and is now a mother to twin boys, Uyir and Ulag.
