Dhanush files case against Nayanthara, Vignesh Shivan over Netflix documentary

The ongoing tiff between actors Dhanush and Nayanthara Kurian over use of visuals from the 2015 movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the Netflix film 'Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale,' has taken a legal turn, with the actor's production house moving Madras High Court.

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan was produced by Dhanush under the banner of Wunderbar Films and Nayanthara was the female lead in the movie. The issue arises from the footage of a movie produced by Dhanush's production house starring Nayanthara. Clips from this movie has been allegedly used in the Netflix documentary about Nayanathara.

Dhanush's production house, Wunderbar Films, has moved court against Nayanthara Kurian and her husband Vignesh Sivan alleging copyright infringement, the Bar and Bench reported. Dhanush's production house Wunderbar Films has also sought the High Court’s permission to implead Netflix’s parent company Los Gatos Production Services India LLP in the suit, the report said.
