Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale documentary released on Netflix this week. In the documentary, we learn about the actress' journey in the film industry, how she became a big star, the way she overcame obstacles in her career and her love story with Vignesh Shivan. However, the documentary also grabbed news for another reason. There's a legal scuffle going on between Nayan and Dhanush.
In the documentary, Nayanthara reveals that it was on the sets of the movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan that she and Vignesh Shivan started dating. Vignesh was directing the movie and while he was shooting Vijay Sethupathi's scene, that's when the actress found him cute. After she finished her part of the movie, the actress texted Vignesh that she misses being on sets. The director didn't take the messages seriously and thought she was joking.
In the documentary, actress Radhika Sarathkumar, who played Vijay's mother in the movie, revealed that it was Dhanush who told her about Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan's romance. The Atrangi Re actor was the movie's producer and called Radhika about the same. In the documentary, Radhika revealed, "It was Dhanush who called me and said, 'Sister, do you have any shame at all?' I was like, 'What is he saying?' He asked, 'Aren't you aware of what's happening? Don't you know that Wikki and Nayan are dating?' I said, 'What the hell are you saying? I knew nothing."
Things are currently intense between Nayanthara and Dhanush. The actress revealed that the actor and producer of the NRD movie has demanded Rs 10 crore for using the behind-the-scenes footage from the sets, which is of 3-seconds. The team has been given an ultimatum to remove the footage within 24 hours.
