Why should I be scared of doing something which I feel is right? I should be scared only if I&#8217;m doing something wrong. I&#8217;m not someone who would want to tarnish someone&#8217;s image just for the sake of publicity.<\/p>\n<p><!--MIDTABOOLA--><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/entertainment\/after-dhanush-sues-nayanthara-over-3-second-clip-controversy-actress-shares-a-cryptic-post-about-karma-7138392\">Nayanthara<\/a> made it clear that her open letter was &#8220;never a publicity stunt&#8221; for her documentary. She mentioned that <i>Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale <\/i> is not about whether the film is a hit or a flop,&#8221; but rather about giving people a chance to understand the real person behind the image. She then shared that the only part of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan she wanted to use was a four-line segment that &#8220;summed up our life, our love, our kids.&#8221; The 2015 film was directed by Nayanthara&#8217;s now-husband Vignesh Shivan and produced by Dhanush&#8217;s Wunderbar Films.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/entertainment\/after-dhanush-sues-nayanthara-over-3-second-clip-controversy-actress-shares-a-cryptic-post-about-karma-7138392\">Nayanthara<\/a> also revealed that she reached out to Dhanush&#8217;s manager. She clarified that she didn&#8217;t want to dwell on what went wrong over the past 10 years, but simply &#8220;hoped&#8221; to clear the air with Dhanush, so they could at least exchange a &#8220;hi&#8221; if they happened to meet in the future. The two had notably ignored each other at a wedding shortly after Nayanthara&#8217;s open letter.<\/p>\n<p>Nayanthara further explained that the footage in question was a brief behind-the-scenes shot taken by a crew member. She pointed out that people might not realise that behind-the-scenes footage was not covered by the contract at the time, unlike it is today, so it shouldn&#8217;t be treated as official footage. The actress added that she felt that Dhanush escalated the issue after the trailer release. This made her feel &#8220;unfairly treated&#8221; and led to her decision to speak out with an open letter.<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- Featured Video --><br \/>\n                                                                                                                        <!-- Recommended Widget -->\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/entertainment\/amid-feud-with-dhanush-nayanthara-says-my-open-letter-was-never-a-publicity-stunt-why-should-i-be-scared-7229036#publisher=newsstand\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: After writing an open letter to former co-star and producer Dhanush regarding his lawsuit over the unauthorised use of a clip from his 2015 production Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, Nayanthara addressed the controversy.
