Actor Dhanush has filed a civil suit in the Madras High Court against actress Nayanthara and her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan, for allegedly using visuals from his production Naanum Rowdy Dhaan without permission.

The latest we hear is that the suit, filed by Dhanush’s production house Wunderbar Films Private Limited, alleges that the visuals were used in the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, produced by their company Rowdy Pictures Private Limited.

Dhanush’s legal action also includes an application seeking the court’s approval to sue Los Gatos Production Services India LLP, a Mumbai-based entity handling Netflix's content investments in India. He invoked Clause 12 of the Letters Patent, which allows suits to be filed in jurisdictions where a significant part of the cause of action arises.

The court granted permission, noting that the primary events occurred within its jurisdiction. Nayanthara has been served a notice and is required to respond at the next hearing.
