Mumbai. The dispute between Nayanthara and Dhanush regarding the Netflix documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale’ is increasing. Nayanthara wrote an open letter regarding this and made many serious allegations against Dhanush. He has criticized Dhanush for filing a lawsuit of Rs 10 crore against his Netflix documentary. Dhanush’s lawyer has reacted on this. Dhanush’s lawyer has given a 24-hour ultimatum to Nayanthara and Netflix in the statement. If he is not removed then strict legal action will be taken.
The statement of Dhanush’s lawyer has also been shared from the actor’s fan page, which is becoming increasingly viral. The statement said, “My client (Dhanush) is a filmmaker and he knows where he has spent every single penny to make the film and your client (Nayanthara) has said that my client (Dhanush) has not given money to any person. Has not been given commission to shoot behind the scene footage and this statement is baseless and Nayanthara will have to present evidence for this.”

Dhanush’s lawyer further said that his client (Dhanush) found the opposition’s submission vague as it claimed that the BTS footage belonged to the person who recorded it. He further said that the clip was of his client (Dhanush) as a filmmaker.
