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.

Legal notice worth ₹5 crore sent to producers of Nayanthara's Netflix documentary for using Chandramukhi footage
The woes surrounding Nayanthara's Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale, just do not seem to end. After Dhanush sued Nayanthara and the producers, Netflix and the company which produced the documentary were sent a legal notice from the makers of the 2005 hit film Chandramukhi for using footage from the film in the series without permission. A LiveLaw report states that the Madras High Court issued a notice to them on Tuesday. After Dhanush, the producers of Chandramukhi are suing the producers of Nayanthara's Netflix documentary for unauthorised usage of footage. Legal notice sent to producers of Nayanthara documentary from HC The Madras HC issued notices to Tarc Studio LLP and Netflix Entertainment Services India LLP for using unauthorised footage from Chandramukhi in Netflix: Beyond The Fairytale. The notices were issued on a plea filed by AP International, which held the copyright of the film over the original producers, Sivaji Productions. The company holds the audio and song video rights to the film, excluding audio cassette and audio CD rights for some countries. The claim is that the producers and OTT platform used footage from the film without obtaining prior permission or license, using footage available on YouTube instead. The company stated that they sent a cease and desist order to the producers and asked them to pay damages of ₹5 crore. The producers reportedly approached the company to acquire the rights only after that. The company is now asking the court for a permanent injunction restraining the producers from using the footage and asking them to remove the portions of the documentary where Chandramukhi footage was used. This comes after Sivaji Productions clarified earlier this year that they did not sue Nayanthara for ₹5 crore and had given the NOC. About Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale was released on Netflix in November 2024. It explores the life and career of Nayanthara, who is now married to Vignesh Shivan and has twins with him. Even before it began streaming, the actor wrote an open letter to Dhanush claiming that he refused to provide permission for them to use footage from the 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which he produced and her husband directed. The footage was used in the documentary anyway, causing friction between the actors. He sued her for ₹10 crore in the HC over it.
