Star heroine Nayanthara recently made headlines with her Netflix documentary “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale”, which started streaming on November 18, 2024. While the documentary aimed to give an intimate look into her life and career, it has now landed in legal trouble.
Earlier, Kollywood actor Dhanush filed a legal case, claiming that the documentary used footage from his film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan” without his permission. Dhanush, who also produced the film, issued a legal notice demanding ₹10 crore in damages for using a three-second clip without authorization. That case is currently under judicial review.
Now, the makers of Chandramukhi, the iconic film in which Nayanthara starred alongside Rajinikanth, have raised similar concerns. They allege that scenes from Chandramukhi were included in the documentary without obtaining proper permissions. Despite sending prior legal notices requesting removal of the footage, the makers claim they received no response.
As a result, AB International, the copyright holder of Chandramukhi, has approached the Madras High Court, demanding the scenes be removed and seeking ₹5 crore in damages. The court has taken up the petition and reportedly directed Netflix and the producers to respond within two weeks, also asking them to disclose the revenue earned from the documentary post-release.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Nayanthara is involved in several big-ticket projects. She is playing a key role in Yash’s upcoming film Toxic, which is already in active production. She will also appear in Patriot, a film headlined by Mohanlal. Other upcoming films include Rakkayi, Mookuthi Amman 2, and Dear Students. Notably, she’s also part of Mega 157, starring Chiranjeevi and directed by Anil Ravipudi, which is progressing at a brisk pace.
With several high-profile films in her pipeline, fans are eager to see how Nayanthara fares at the box office despite the ongoing controversies surrounding her documentary.
