Overview
- Speaking in new interviews Sunday, the Love Insurance Kompany director said he feels ashamed about the fallout and described Dhanush as a fatherly figure in his life.
- The dispute traces to a three‑second clip from the 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan that appeared in the trailer for Nayanthara’s Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale.
- Dhanush’s company Wunderbar Films filed a civil suit and sent a Rs 10 crore legal notice in November 2024 over the clip’s use without permission, and the case remains active.
- In January 2025, the Madras High Court dismissed Netflix India’s petition tied to the suit, a ruling reported as favoring Dhanush while the underlying litigation continues.
- Nayanthara earlier posted an open letter saying she and Vignesh sought a No Objection Certificate for about two years, underscoring how routine clip clearances can strain personal ties even as Vignesh now signals a wish to repair the relationship.
