Actor Dhanush sued Nayanthara and Vignesh Sivan for using three seconds of footage from his film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in their Netflix docu-drama. Nayanthara's lawyer claimed no copyright infringement,

Dhanush said, "The third respondent was aware that she must not use any visuals or video of the film, off or on-screen without consent of the applicant. She intentionally chose to infringe upon the applicant's copyrights causing an irreparable loss to the applicant's company.

Dhanush filed a civil lawsuit against Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan, over the alleged use of footage from his 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in Nayanthara's Netflix documentary.

The dispute began when Nayanthara accused Dhanush of pressuring her and blocking her from using footage from their film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her documentary.
