Actor Dhanush Faces Back-to-Back Court Battles

It seems legal entanglements are destined for Tamil star Dhanush. On a single day, he concluded one court case only to initiate another, creating buzz in the legal and entertainment circles.

Divorce Settlement Finalized

Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth's divorce case, which had been dragging on for two years, finally reached a conclusion. The Chennai Family Court granted their divorce, ending the prolonged legal proceedings.

New Case Against Nayanthara

On the same day, Dhanush filed a civil suit against actress Nayanthara in the Madras High Court. The dispute centers around alleged unauthorized use of visuals from a film produced by Dhanush.

The Issue

Dhanush accused Nayanthara of using a 3-second clip from his production, "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan", without his permission in a Netflix documentary about her. The documentary, directed by her husband Vignesh Shivan, includes footage reportedly filmed on a mobile phone.

Legal Action

Dhanush demanded Rs 10 crore in damages and had already sent a legal notice to Nayanthara. The matter escalated, with Dhanush filing a case not only against Nayanthara and Vignesh but also against Netflix India and its Mumbai-based content company, Los Gatos.

Nayanthara’s Response

The actress expressed her displeasure by releasing an open letter criticizing Dhanush’s legal action. This disagreement has now moved to court, with the Madras High Court permitting Dhanush to proceed with the case.

Ongoing Legal Battles

While Dhanush has resolved his divorce case, this fresh controversy involving Nayanthara keeps him entangled in legal proceedings. Fans and industry insiders are now keenly watching how this high-profile dispute unfolds.
