Madras HC issues notice to makers of Nayanthara's documentary
The plea was filed by AP International, a film distribution company, which had acquired the copyright for the Rajinikanth starrer, which featured Nayanthara in a key role.

The OTT platform streaming the documentary has also received the notice. The plea was filed by AP International, a film distribution company, which had acquired the copyright for the Rajinikanth starrer, which featured Nayanthara in a key role. The company alleged that the documentary, which traces the life of the Jawan actress, used clips of Chandramukhi which were taken directly from the company's YouTube channel without obtaining authorisation or a licence. They also claimed that they had previously issued a cease-and-desist notice demanding that the unauthorised usage of the clips be stopped and further sought ₹5 crore in damages. It is said that the production house approached the distribution company to acquire the digital exploitation rights after receiving the notice, but an agreement was not reached between the parties on the acquisition of the rights.

After Dhanush, Chandramukhi rights holders sue Nayanthara's docu-team for Rs 5 crore
Nayanthara's documentary, 'Beyond The Fairytale,' faces a new legal challenge. AP International has filed a Rs 5 crore lawsuit against the film's producers and Netflix, alleging unauthorised use of 'Chandramukhi' footage. The Madras High Court has issued notices in response to the petition, which seeks a permanent injunction against using the clips. When Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale was released in November 2024, it was meant to be a heartfelt tribute to one of South India's most celebrated stars. But nearly a year later, the documentary has found itself at the centre of yet another legal storm. After an earlier copyright clash involving Dhanush, the film now faces fresh trouble—this time over alleged unauthorised use of Chandramukhi footage, with a Rs 5 crore lawsuit adding fuel to the fire. According to a LiveLaw report, the Madras High Court has issued notices to Tarc Studio LLP and Netflix Entertainment Services India LLP after a petition filed by AP International. The company, which owns the audio and video rights to Chandramukhi (excluding select international regions), claims the documentary used clips from the film without proper permission or licensing. AP International has alleged that the producers of the documentary used Chandramukhi visuals sourced from YouTube without obtaining prior authorisation. The company claims it issued a cease and desist notice to both the studio and Netflix, demanding the immediate removal of the footage and Rs 5 crore in damages. It was only after receiving the legal notice, AP International says, that the producers approached them to formally request rights. In their legal petition, AP International is seeking a permanent injunction to stop the filmmakers of the documentary from using any footage from Chandramukhi. They've also asked that all existing clips from the film be removed from the documentary. This comes even though Sivaji Productions—the original producers of Chandramukhi—earlier clarified that they had issued a no-objection certificate and had not taken any legal action against Nayanthara. Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale premiered on Netflix in November 2024, offering an intimate look into the actress's life. The documentary delves into both her professional milestones and personal moments, including her marriage to filmmaker Vignesh Shivan and their journey as parents to twin boys. Earlier, actor-producer Dhanush filed a Rs 10 crore lawsuit against the makers of Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale, alleging unauthorised use of footage from his 2015 production Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, directed by Vignesh Shivan. Despite being asked to remove the clips, the visuals reportedly remained in the documentary, prompting legal action.
