Chennai: Actress Nayanthara has delivered a scathing public rebuke to her former co-star Dhanush in a viral open letter, accusing him of unethical behavior and labeling him “vile” in the wake of a bitter dispute over her upcoming Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale. The letter follows a controversy surrounding the use of footage from their 2014 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.
Nayanthara claims that Dhanush, who also directed the film, refused to grant her permission to use certain clips, including behind-the-scenes (BTS) footage, in her documentary. She further alleges that when she proceeded to use the footage without his consent, Dhanush demanded a staggering 10 crore rupees in compensation, prompting her to take legal action.
In the letter, Nayanthara sharply criticizes Dhanush’s public persona, stating, “I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage. The true character you’ve shown behind closed doors is vile.” She accuses him of living a double life, contrasting the on-screen image he projects with his alleged real-life behavior.
Nayanthara also calls out Dhanush’s controlling attitude, asserting, “You’ve created a false narrative for yourself that doesn’t align with reality. The Tamil people deserve to see the real you, not the version you’ve sold them.” She warns that the truth will eventually come to light, adding, “The truth always comes out, and you’ll face judgment—not just from the court, but from the higher court of life.”
In closing, Nayanthara thanks her fans for their unwavering support and reaffirms her commitment to her career, despite the personal challenges. The documentary, which is set to be released soon, has already sparked significant attention, with many now eagerly awaiting Dhanush’s response.
Nayanthara’s bold decision to publicly confront Dhanush has sent shockwaves through the film industry, particularly given their previously positive on-screen chemistry. The controversy continues to stir up debates, leaving fans and industry insiders keenly awaiting the next chapter in this unfolding drama.
