Nayanthara Slapped With Fresh Lawsuit From Chandramukhi Makers For Using Clips Without Permission In Netflix Documentary

After Dhanush, Nayanthara finds herself in another legal dispute over her Netflix wedding documentary, Nayanthara – Beyond The Fairytale, which was released recently. In 2024, actor Dhanush sent a legal notice to Nayanthara, after which the actress wrote an open letter to him on Instagram. Now, the makers of Chandramukhi have also taken legal action for using clips from the blockbuster film in the Netflix documentary without their permission.

Nayanthara is in legal trouble again

As per reports, the makers of Chandramukhi have demanded Rs 5 crore in compensation from the OTT giant as well as Nayanthara. The actress is yet to respond to the allegation. For the unversed, the documentary showcases beautiful moments from the actress’ wedding in Chennai, along with a few sweet clips from her past films. Actor Chitra Lakshmanan revealed on her YouTube channel that the Chandramukhi makers were unhappy with the unauthorised use of clips in the documentary, prompting them to take legal action.

Nayanthara vs Dhanush

Nayanthara’s dispute with Dhanush stemmed from the use of footage from the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary. The feud turned public after the actress shared an open letter.

An excerpt from the letter read, “It’s almost been 10 years since the release of the film, and it is a long time for someone to continue to be this vile while wearing a mask in front of the world. I have not forgotten all the horrible things that you said about the film that was one of your biggest hits as a producer and a film that is loved by all even today. The words you said pre-release have left some unhealable scars on us already. I learned through film circles that your ego was supremely hurt after the film became a blockbuster. Your displeasure over its success was perceptible even to the common man through award functions connected with this film (Filmfare 2016).”
