Nayanthara is back in headline. Not for her new project but for the legal trouble for her released documentary. The Lady superstar is facing fresh legal challenges over her documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale. The latest issue involves the producers of her hit film Chandramukhi, who have filed a lawsuit against her, claiming that excerpts from the film were used in the documentary without permission. The producers are demanding INR 5 crore in compensation from both Nayanthara and Netflix for what they say is a violation of copyright laws. The controversy surrounds a specific clip from Chandramukhi, which was reportedly included in the wedding segment of the documentary. This legal action follows a similar lawsuit from Dhanush, producer of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, who earlier filed a 10-crore claim over a behind-the-scenes clip from the 2015 film. ‘Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale’: Despite Dhanush’s Legal Threat, Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s Netflix Documentary Uses BTS Footage From ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ (Watch Video).
