MUMBAI — Amid her
ongoing legal dispute with actor Dhanush, Nayanthara shared a cryptic post
about karma always finding its way back.
On Friday, the actress took to her Instagram stories and
shared a note that read, “Karma Says!!! When you destroy someone’s life with
lies Take it as a loan, it will come back to you with interest.”
The post comes days after Dhanush filed a lawsuit against
Nayanthara and her filmmaker husband Vignesh Shivan for the unauthorized use of
clips from “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan” in their Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond
The Fairytale.
The case was heard in the Madras High Court on November 27.
During the hearing, Justice Abdul Quiddhose directed Nayanthara, Vignesh
Shivan, and others to clarify the allegations made against them. Dhanush has
also sent a legal notice to the couple, warning them of a lawsuit for using BTS
visuals in the documentary.
The notice states that he will seek INR 10 crore in damages
if they proceed with using the clips.
In a recent development, Nayanthara's lawyer has responded,
stating that their clients have not violated any copyright laws. Rahul Dhawan,
representing the actress, clarified that the footage used in the documentary
was from the actor's “personal library” and was not owned by Dhanush’s Wunderbar
Films Private Limited.
On November 16, the ‘Jawan’ actress posted an open letter on
Instagram wherein she criticized Dhanush for stooping to "an all-time
low" after he demanded a compensation of Rs 10 crore from her. The demand
stemmed from a 3-second clip from Nayanthara's film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,
produced by Dhanush, which was used in the docuseries trailer.
An excerpt from Nayanthara’s lengthy letter read, “What's
even more shocking is your legal notice after the release of the trailer of the
Netflix documentary. We were startled to read those lines wherein you
questioned the usage of some videos (just 3 seconds) which were shot in our
personal devices and that too BTS visuals that are already very much publicly
present on social media and claimed a sum of Rs.10 crores as damages for the
mere 3 seconds. This is an all time low from you and speaks so much about your
character. I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage in audio
launches in front of your innocent fans but clearly you do not practice what
you preach, at least not for me and my partner.”
