- Nayanthara is embroiled in another legal controversy.
- Chandramukhi makers accused her of unauthorized use of film footage.
- They are demanding INR 5 crore in compensation.
Lady Superstar Nayanthara is embroiled in another legal controversy concerning her wedding documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, streaming on Netflix. The makers of the 2005 Tamil blockbuster Chandramukhi have accused her and Netflix of using footage from the film without permission, demanding INR 5 crore in compensation.
The legal notice alleges that clips from Chandramukhi were included in the documentary without prior authorization. According to actor and industry insider Chitra Lakshmanan, “The Chandramukhi makers are displeased with the inclusion of certain scenes from the film in the documentary. They claim these clips were used without obtaining proper authorisation and have now sought legal recourse.”

Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale offers a glimpse into the actress’s love story and her opulent 2022 wedding to filmmaker Vignesh Shivan in Mahabalipuram. The documentary also features snippets from her iconic films, including Chandramukhi.
This isn’t the first legal challenge for the documentary. Previously, actor-producer Dhanush sent a notice over the unauthorized use of clips from his film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. At the time, Nayanthara dismissed his claims with a bold social media statement.
Known for her powerful role as Durga in Chandramukhi, Nayanthara has yet to respond to these fresh allegations. Fans now await her next move in this unfolding legal drama.
