The Wedding Encounter
A video posted on Instagram by Nayanthara’s security team shows the actress, accompanied by her husband Vignesh Shivan, sitting in the front row, chatting with other guests. Meanwhile, Dhanush is seen sitting on the opposite end of the aisle, deliberately avoiding eye contact or interaction with Nayanthara. The awkward encounter has sparked widespread attention on social media.
The Feud Explained
The controversy began when Nayanthara shared an open letter on Instagram, accusing Dhanush of withholding a no-objection certificate for using footage from their 2015 film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan” in her documentary. Nayanthara claimed that Dhanush sued her for ₹10 crore over a 3-second behind-the-scenes clip used in the trailer.
Dhanush’s Response
While Dhanush hasn’t publicly addressed the allegations, his father, Kasthuri Raja, dismissed the claims, stating that their focus is on work and they don’t have time to respond to “those who chase us or talk behind our backs”. Raja refused to comment further on the allegations.
