Nayanthara Slams Dhanush; Calls Him ‘Vile’

‘I
have
not
forgotten
all
the
horrible
things
that
you
said
about
the
film
that
was
one
of
your
biggest
hits
as
a
producer
and
a
film
that
is
loved
by
all
even
today.’
‘I
learnt
through
film
circles
that
your
ego
was
supremely
hurt
after
the
film
became
a
blockbuster.’

Nayanthara
surprised
everyone
with
her
open
letter
to
Dhanush,
calling
out
the
latter
for
not
letting
her
use
film
footage
from



Naanum
Rowdy
Dhaan
for
her
Netflix
documentary,

Nayanthara:
Beyond
The
Fairy
Tale.

In
the
letter,
she
also
accused
Dhanush
of
harbouring
a
personal
grudge
against
her
and
her
husband,
film-maker
Vignesh
Shivan.

She
mentioned
it
was
a
‘low’
move
to
demand
Rs
10
crore
(Rs
100
million)
from
them
to
use
a
three-second
snippets
of
the
songs
from

Naanum
Rowdy
Dhaan.

A
part
of
the
letter
read,
‘A
well-established
actor
like
you,
with
the
support
and
blessings
of
your
father
and
your
brother,
an
ace
director,
needs
to
read
and
understand
this.
Cinema
as
we
all
know
is
a
fight
for
survival
for
people
like
me:
A
self
made
woman
with
no
links
in
the
industry
and
someone
who
had
to
struggle
my
way
to
the
position
I
hold
today.
I’d
owe
this
to
my
work
ethic
that
is
no
secret
to
all
who
know
me
but
more
importantly,
to
the
goodwill
of
the
audience
and
my
film
fraternity.’

‘The
release
of
my
Netflix
documentary
has
been
much
awaited
by
not
just
me
but
so
many
of
my
fans
and
well
wishers.
It
took
a
whole
team
of
collaborators
and
film
friends
to
pull
together
the
project
through
all
the
difficulties
that
were
thrown
at
us.

‘The
vengeance
that
you
have
been
festering
against
the
film,
my
partner
and
I,
doesn’t
just
affect
us
but
the
people
who
have
given
their
effort
and
time
towards
this
project.

‘This
Netflix
Documentary
about
me,
my
life,
my
love
and
marriage
includes
clips
of
many
of
my
industry
well-wishers
who
have
graciously
contributed
and
memories
from
multiple
films,
but
sadly
does
not
include
the
most
special
and
important
film,

Naanum
Rowdy
Dhaan,’
she
added.

Nayanthara
questioned
Dhanush’s
vengeance
against
her
and
mentioned
that
she
would
give
a
befitting
reply
to
his
legal
notice.

‘I
am
in
receipt
of
your
legal
notice
and
we
shall
respond
to
it
befittingly
through
lawful
means.
Your
refusal
to
give
NOC
for
the
use
of
elements
of

Naanum
Rowdy
Dhaan
for
our
Netflix
documentary
might
be
justified
by
you
to
the
courts
from
the
copyright
angle
but
I
wish
to
remind
you
that
there
is
a
moral
side
to
it,
which
has
to
be
defended
in
the
court
of
God,’
she
wrote.

Describing
Dhanush
as
a
‘vile’
person,
she
wrote,
‘It’s
almost
been
10
years
since
the
release
of
the
film,
and
it
is
a
long
time
for
someone
to
continue
to
be
this
vile
while
wearing
a
mask
in
front
of
the
world.

‘I
have
not
forgotten
all
the
horrible
things
that
you
said
about
the
film
that
was
one
of
your
biggest
hits
as
a
producer
and
a
film
that
is
loved
by
all
even
today.
The
words
you
said
pre-release
have
left
some
unhealable
scars
to
us
already.

‘I
learnt
through
film
circles
that
your
ego
was
supremely
hurt
after
the
film
became
a
blockbuster.
Your
displeasure
over
its
success
was
perceptible
even
to
common
man
through
award
functions
connected
with
this
film
(Filmfare
2016).’

Nayanthara
concluded
her
letter
with
a
plea
for
reconciliation.
She
requested
Dhanush
to
‘spread
love’.

‘Through
this
letter,
I
only
wish
and
pray
that
you
come
to
peace
with
your
inner
self
over
the
success
of
some
people
whom
you
knew
from
the
past.

‘The
world
is
a
big
place.
It’s
meant
for
everyone.
It’s
okay
for
people
you
know
to
come
up
in
life.
It’s
okay
for
normal
people
with
no
background
in
cinema
to
make
it
big.
It’s
okay
if
some
people
make
connections
and
are
happy.
It
doesn’t
take
away
anything
from
you.
It’s
only
an
ode
to
their
work,
blessings
and
people’s
kindness.’

‘You
may
fabricate
some
fake
story
and
pack
it
with
punch
lines
and
deliver
it
in
your
next
audio
launch
too,
but
god
is
watching.
I
wish
to
introduce
a
German
word
into
your
vocabulary,
‘schadenfreude‘
and
ensure
that
you
don’t
taste
that
emotion
with
us
or
anyone
anymore.

‘And
truly,
in
this
world
where
it’s
easy
to
look
down
upon
people,
there
is
also
joy
in
other’s
joys,
there
is
happiness
in
seeing
other
people’s
happiness
and
hope
that
comes
from
other’s
stories.
That
is
the
reason
behind
our
Netflix
Documentary.

‘I
suggest
you
also
watch
it
and
maybe
it
might
change
your
mind.
It
is
important
to
#SpreadLove
and
I
hope
and
pray
that
someday
you
are
also
fully
capable
of
doing
it
and
not
just
sayingit.
Om
Namah
Shivaya,’
the
letter
read.

exact
details
of
the
alleged
dispute
between
Nayanthara
and
Dhanush

the
actress’
claims
have
sparked
discussions
within
the
industry.

Dhanush

Nayanthara’s
letter
