The escalating feud between Kollywood titans Nayanthara and Dhanush shows no signs of slowing down. After Nayanthara’s scathing Instagram post accusing Dhanush of “vile” behaviour over an INR 10 crore lawsuit for a mere three-second clip from the 2015 movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, the latter’s lawyer has issued a statement. Dhanush’s legal team has given a warning to Nayanthara.

Dhanush’s Legal Team Responds to Nayanthara’s Open Letter
Dhanush’s legal team has clarified the contentious issue, asserting that the opposing party’s claim of ownership over BTS footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, based on the individual who filmed it, is ambiguous. They strongly maintain that, as the film’s producer, Dhanush rightfully owns the clip. “My client is the producer of the film, and they know where they have spent each penny for the production of the film, and your client has stated that my client has not commissioned any person to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage, and the said statement is baseless, and your client is put to strict proof of the same,” the statement reads.
