In an unexpected twist, star heroine Nayanthara took to social media yesterday to accuse multifaceted actor Dhanush in an open letter that quickly went viral. The letter claims that Dhanush refused to grant permission for her to use a 3-second video clip from their 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan for her upcoming documentary film, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, set to stream on Netflix at midnight. To add fuel to the fire, she also claimed that he demanded Rs. 10 crore in compensation for its use.

In the letter, Nayanthara didn’t hold back, slamming Dhanush not only for his decision but also for his on-screen and off-screen behaviour. Her strong words have caught the attention of many in the industry, earning her support from several prominent figures like Parvathy, Aishwarya Rajesh, Geetu Mohandas, Dia Mirza, Eesha Rebba, Shruti Haasan, Anupam Parameswaran, and more.

However, Dhanush has remained unfazed, keeping his silence amidst the storm. His supporters have quickly rallied behind him, criticising Nayanthara for her behaviour during the film’s shoot, which has now become the center of the controversy. Some even questioned her commitment to promoting her films, pointing out her absence at several promotional events. Some also talked about her past.

On the other hand, Dhanush fans have taken to social media, defending his professionalism and praising his calm demeanour in the face of the drama. Meanwhile, many are left wondering why Dhanush has chosen not to respond directly. Is he quietly gathering evidence to strike back with solid proof, or is he simply allowing the matter to fade away? Fans are eagerly waiting for the next move as the battle between two of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars continues to unfold.
