Fans are eagerly waiting for Nayanthara aka Lady Superstar's documentary. The much-anticipated documentary film Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale is all set to premiere on Netflix on November 18. Ahead of the release, the Jawan actress penned an open letter to renowned actor Dhanush and talked about the 'painful' experiences surrounding the release of her Netflix documentary.

Nayanthara's letter to DhanushTaking to her Instagram handle, Nayanthara shared a long note where she talked about the several obstacles she is facing while releasing the documentary. And, the one key issue remaining unresolved: is the refusal of Dhanush to grant the necessary permissions for the use of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs, clips, and photographs.

In an open letter addressed to actor and producer Dhanush, she wrote, "A well-established actor like you, with the support and blessings of your father and your brother, an ace director, needs to read and understand this. Cinema as we all know is a fight for survival for people like me: a self made woman with no links in the industry and someone who had to struggle my way to the position I hold today. I'd owe this to my work ethic that is no secret to all who know me but more importantly, to the goodwill of the audience and my film fraternity. The release of my Netflix documentary has been much awaited by not just me but so many of my fans and well wishers. It took a whole team of collaborators and film friends to pull together the project through all the difficulties that were thrown at us. The vengeance that you have been festering against the film, my partner and I, doesn't just affect us but the people who have given their effort and time towards this project. This NetFlix Documentary about me, my life, my love and marriage includes clips of many of my industry well-wishers who have graciously contributed and memories from multiple films, but sadly does not include the most special and important film, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. After two long years of battling it out with you for an NOC (No Objection Certificate) and waiting for your approval for our NetFlix documentary release, we finally decided to give up, re-edit and settle for the current version since you declined to permit the usage of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs or visual cuts, even the photographs to say the least despite multiple requests."The documentary, which highlights her journey, love life, and marriage, included moments from several of her films, including Naanum Rowdy Dhaan—a project that holds great significance for her. However, despite numerous requests, Dhanush, who was both the producer and an important part of the film, denied permission to use any content from it. Nayanthara expresses her disappointment, emphasising that the refusal, which she believes stems from a personal grudge, not only hurt her but also affected the entire team behind the documentary.Further adding to her frustration was a legal notice from Dhanush after the trailer of the documentary was released. The notice objected to the use of three seconds of behind-the-scenes footage taken from personal devices, footage that had already been shared publicly. She further added, "What's even more shocking is your legal notice after the release of the trailer of the Netflix Documentary. We were startled to read those lines wherein you questioned the usage of some videos (just 3 seconds) which were shot in our personal devices and that too BTS visuals that are already very much publicly present on social media and claimed a sum of Rs.10 crores as damages for the mere 3 seconds. This is an all-time low from you and speaks so much about your character. I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage in audio launches in front of your innocent fans but clearly you do not practice what you preach, at least not for me and my partner." Urges Dhanush to watch the documentaryDespite the bitterness, Nayanthara ends her letter with a plea for reconciliation. She hopes that Dhanush can find peace with the success of others, including her own, and stresses that success does not diminish anyone else’s achievements. She encourages him to watch the documentary, which she believes could offer him a new perspective and calls for a more compassionate, supportive industry where love, kindness, and understanding prevail. Meanwhile, Nayanthara's documentary film has been directed by Amrith Krishnan, which also features exclusive interviews and insights into the life of Nayanthara’s professional and personal lives.
