The producers of Chandramukhi have recently addressed the rumors regarding notices being sent to the film’s heroine, Nayanthara. In a statement shared on an online platform, they clarified that they have not issued any legal notice to the actress. Contrary to the circulating news claiming that they were demanding Rs. 5 crore, the producers have denied any such action.
This clarification comes in the wake of the release of Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, a documentary on the life of the popular actress, which is available on Netflix. The film has been making headlines ever since its release, and it has been reported that some scenes from Chandramukhi were used in the documentary. However, the makers of Chandramukhi have now spoken out, asserting that there was no objection to the use of these scenes. They stated that before filming the documentary, the production company, Rowdy Pictures, had obtained a no-objection certificate from them, and therefore, there was no issue with the scenes being included.
Furthermore, the producers of Chandramukhi, Shivaji Productions, also rejected the news that they were demanding any financial compensation. They emphasized that there was no truth to the reports claiming that they were seeking Rs. 5 crore from Nayanthara.
This controversy, however, is part of a larger issue involving another major film personality. Film producer and actor Dhanush has sent legal notices to Nayanthara, alleging that footage from their movie Nanum Rowdy Daan was used in Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale without his permission. Dhanush demanded Rs. 10 crore in compensation for a three-second clip, claiming that the scene misrepresented his character and implied hatred towards him. The actor’s legal team has taken the matter to court, and the Madras High Court has issued notices to both Nayanthara and the Netflix team, requesting a response by January 8.
The legal proceedings surrounding the documentary continue to unfold, with both Nayanthara and the involved production teams facing scrutiny over the use of previously filmed content without clear permissions.
