South Indian sensation Nayanthara’s Netflix documentary ‘Beyond the Fairytale’ is all set for release on November 18th. Amidst the awaited release, the actress slammed actor Dhanush for his refusal to allow certain film footage to be included in her documentary.
Nayanthara and Vignesh Sivan fell in love during the shooting of the 2015 film 'Naanum Rowdy Than'. The film was directed by Vignesh Sivan and produced by Dhanush. In an Instagram post, Nayanthara says that 'Naanum Rowdy Than' could not be included in her documentary as the producer Dhanush did not issue an NOC (No Objection Certificate).
Nayanthara:
"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 which 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.
What’s even more shocking was the legal notice we received from you after the release of the documentary trailer.
You have denied permission to use songs, scenes or even photographs from the film. It came out of your personal grudge. The fact that the film was a huge blockbuster took a toll on your ego. I have heard from insiders about your words on the move before its release. It has given me unhealable scars. Your displeasure over the movie’s success was perceptible even to the common man during the Film Fare Award function in 2016.
I suggest you watch my documentary and change your mind. It is important to spread love and someday I believe you will be fully capable of doing it rather than acting in front of the world. I hope you practice half of what you preach in front of your innocent fans”
