On Saturday (Nov 16), Nayanthara shared a lengthy note on her social media as she called out Dhanush directly over creating hurdles in the release of the documentary based on her life.

In the letter shared, 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," she wrote.

In the letter, Nayanthara mentioned that she and her team have been waiting for an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from Dhanush's side for over two years now. However,now they have decided to go ahead with the re-edited version of the documentary that doesn't have clips from the movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.

“After two long years of battling it out with you for an NOC 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," she wrote.

Released in 2015, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan is one of thefilms that's very special for the actress. The movie was produced by Dhanush under his Wunderbar Films.

Dhanush has not reacted to Nayanthara's letter yet.
