Reports of a lawsuit against Nayanthara’s Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, have been making waves online. However, the makers of the Tamil classic Chandramukhi have cleared the air, dismissing claims of legal disputes over the use of footage from their movie.
A No Objection Certificate (NOC) issued by Sivaji Productions has been shared widely on social media, putting an end to the controversy. The certificate confirms that the production house granted permission to Rowdy Pictures, Nayanthara’s and her husband Vignesh Shivan’s company, to use clips from Chandramukhi in the documentary.
Legal Drama Debunked
The rumor suggested that Sivaji Productions demanded Rs 5 crore from Nayanthara for using footage from the 2005 film Chandramukhi. This claim sparked heated debates among fans and the media. But the circulating NOC states otherwise. It explicitly mentions that Rowdy Pictures was authorized to use, reproduce, and distribute the video footage for the documentary without any payment.
Film industry insider Ramesh Bala shared the NOC on his social media handle, making the details public. The document also assures that Rowdy Pictures and its affiliates are protected from any legal claims related to the footage.
This clarification comes as a relief to Nayanthara and her team, especially amidst the buzz surrounding the documentary, which is now streaming on Netflix.
Earlier Issues with Dhanush
This isn’t the first time Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale has faced legal scrutiny. Actor Dhanush, who starred in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, had earlier sent a legal notice to the actress and Vignesh Shivan over the usage of clips from his film in the documentary. While the specifics of Dhanush’s concerns remain unclear, it’s evident that Nayanthara’s team has had to navigate multiple hurdles to bring the documentary to audiences.
Fan Reactions and Industry Buzz
Fans of the actress have rallied behind her, applauding the clarity provided by Sivaji Productions. Social media platforms are flooded with posts celebrating the makers’ decision to avoid any unnecessary legal hassle. The documentary itself has been receiving a positive response, with many praising its intimate portrayal of Nayanthara’s personal and professional journey.
For those unfamiliar, Chandramukhi, starring Rajinikanth, is a landmark film in Tamil cinema. Its inclusion in the Netflix documentary was seen as a tribute to Nayanthara’s career milestones, as she had a pivotal role in the movie.
Wrapping Up
Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale continues to stream on Netflix, offering fans a glimpse into the life of the celebrated actress. With the legal issues now behind her, Nayanthara and her team can finally focus on celebrating the documentary’s success.
The drama may have stirred the pot, but for now, it seems like the queen of Tamil cinema can enjoy her well-deserved spotlight.
