Dhanush has chosen to move forward with the main legal suit against actress Nayanthara in the ongoing copyright dispute. Representing him, his production company, Wunderbar Films, has filed for damages amounting to Rs 1 crore from Nayanthara and the creators of the documentary.

Acccording to Pinkvilla, this development comes after the court denied a request for an interim injunction, as the documentary was released despite the case being sub judice.

The dispute arose when Nayanthara incorporated behind-the-scenes footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, a film produced by Dhanush, in her documentary without obtaining prior permission. Additionally, Dhanush has accused both Nayanthara and her husband, director Vignesh Shivan, of displaying unprofessional conduct during the film’s production.
