Days after actress Nayanthara accused Dhanush of demanding Rs 10 crore for alleged copyright infringement involving her Netflix documentary, the actor’s legal team has issued a strong statement.
Dhanush’s lawyer has threatened legal action if the contentious content, which reportedly infringes on his copyright of the film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan”, is not removed within 24 hours. The statement reads, “Advice your client to take down the content infringing my client’s copyright over the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan by using the same in your client’s documentary named Nayanthara Beyond the Fairytale within 24 hours, failing which my client will be forced to initiate appropriate legal action, including but not limited to seeking damages to a sum of Rs. 10 crores against your client and Netflix India.”
The actor’s lawyer also refuted Nayanthara’s claim that the disputed content was simply behind-the-scenes footage captured on personal phones.
The statement further read, “My client is the producer of the film and they know where they have spent each penny for the production of the film. Your client has stated that my client has not commissioned any person to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage and the said statement is baseless. Your client is put to strict proof of the same.” (IANS)
