Shruti Haasan, Aishwarya Rajesh And Other Actors Support Nayanthara Amid Dhanush Controversy
Nayanthara-Dhanush controversy has drawn responses from several actresses who have worked with Dhanush. Shruti Haasan, who starred alongside Dhanush in 3 (Moonu), showed subtle support for Nayanthara.
Nayanthara and Dhanush's recent dispute has stirred significant attention in the Tamil film industry. On Saturday, Nayanthara released an open letter addressing Dhanush, alleging that he had taken legal action against her for using behind-the-scenes footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her upcoming documentary.
Nayanthara issues statement against Dhanush
According to Nayanthara, Dhanush, who produced the film, sued her for Rs 10 crore, causing a ripple effect in the industry as various actresses voiced their reactions.
In her statement, Nayanthara revealed that obtaining permissions from Dhanush had been challenging. She expressed disappointment, implying that Dhanush’s behavior contradicted his public persona. “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,” she said.
