Chandramukhi makers say they didn’t send a legal notice to Nayanthara for using clips in Netflix documentary

The certificate further stated, “We confirm that Rowdy Pictures has been granted permission to use, reproduce, distribute, and/or sub-license the aforementioned video footage exclusively for use in the Netflix series titled Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale.”
It read, “We further declare that we shall hold Rowdy Pictures (along with affiliates, licensees/sub-licensees, and assigns) harmless from any claims and/or disputes arising out of the use of the video footage as authorized under the certificate/letter.”

The actress, who marked her acting debut in 2003 with the Malayalam film Manassinakkare, went on to make Vismayathumbathu, and Natturajavu. In 2005, she made her first Tamil film Ayya, followed by Chandramukhi. The film starred actors Rajinikanth and Jyotika. As the documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale, explores the actor’s career and love life, it included clips from several of her films from the beginning to her comeback to the latest Jawan.

Previously, after sharing a statement against Dhanush, the actress had shared another list thanking the people who supported her and cleared NOCs to use clips from their movies. The list along with names like Shah Rukh Khan, and Chiranjeevi, also included the name of her Chandramukhi producer Ramkumar Ganesan, who produced the film under his banner Sivaji Productions. The actress is yet to react to the legal notice.

In November last year, Dhanush sent a legal notice to the actress soon after she released the trailer of her documentary. The legal notice demanded Rs 10 crore for using a three-second BTS clip of the actress and her husband Vignesh Shivan.

Nayanthara slammed the actor for his legal notice and wrote in her statement, “I am in receipt of your legal notice and we shall respond to it befittingly through lawful means. Your refusal to give NOC for use of elements of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan for our Netflix documentary might be justified by you to the courts from copyright angle but I wish to remind you that there is a moral side to it, which has to be defended in the court of God.”
