New Delhi:
Nayanthara is celebrating her 40th birthday today. On the occasion of her birthday, the Netflix original Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale will release today. Ahead of the release of his documentary, Vignesh Shivan wished him in the most adorable way. Vignesh shared the opening credits of the show on his Instagram stories and he wrote, “Happy Birthday my Uyyar (love and kiss emoji). My respect for you is a million times greater than my love for you! You are my thangami!” Re-sharing the story on her Instagram, Nayanthara replied, “I love you” and inserted a kiss and a heart emoji.
Nayanthara’s show on Netflix is stuck in legal trouble before its release. The makers of the project have been served a copyright claim of ₹10 crore from actor-producer Dhanush. The reason for the claim is a 3-second clip from Nayanthara’s film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which was produced by Dhanush, which appears in the documentary trailer. Nayanthara responded to the lawsuit by sharing an open letter addressed to Dhanush on her Instagram feed.
An excerpt from Nayanthara’s letter reads, “After two long years of struggling with you for the NOC (No Objection Certificate) and waiting for your approval for our Netflix documentary release, we have finally given up, re-edited and “Decided to compromise.” Since the current edition you have refused to allow the use of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs or scene cuts, even photographs, despite multiple requests.”
Nayanthara also highlighted that this was an “all-time low” for Dhanush. The actress further said, “Your legal notice after the trailer release of the Netflix documentary is even more shocking. We were shocked to read the lines in which you questioned the use of some video (just 3 seconds) which was our personal But were shot.” Equipment and that too BTS scene which is already publicly available on social media and a loss of Rs 10 crores has been claimed for mere 3 seconds, this is the lowest for you and tells a lot about your character. I wish you were half the person you portray on stage at the audio launch in front of your innocent fans, but clearly you don’t practice what you preach, at least not to me and my partner.” To keep an eye:
Nayanthara and Vignesh got married in June 2022. The couple are parents to twins – Uir and Ulag.
