Nayanthara faces legal trouble for using clips from Chandramukhi film in her documentary, as per reports.

Actress Nayanthara is facing legal issues again related to the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale. The producers of the Tamil film Chandramukhi have reportedly taken legal action, claiming that clips from their movie released in 2005, were used without permission in the documentary.

As per reports, the producers of Chandramukhi have sent a legal notice to both Nayanthara and Netflix, accusing them of using a clip from the film without consent in the wedding documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale. The notice demands compensation of Rs 5 crore from both the actress and the streaming platform.

Actor Chitra Lakshman, known for sharing film updates on his YouTube channel, recently mentioned that the producers of Chandramukhi are unhappy with the inclusion of specific scenes from their film in the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale.

As of now, Nayanthara has yet to comment on the allegations.

Earlier, Dhanush, the producer of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, took legal action against Nayanthara and Netflix for allegedly using footage from his film without permission in her documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale. In response, Nayanthara publicly rejected Dhanush's claims with a statement on social media, which quickly sparked a strong reaction from their fan bases.
