Court rejected Netflix’s petition
Let us tell you that Netflix India had demanded the cancellation of Dhanush’s copyright case against Nayanthara, which has been rejected by the Madras High Court. Actually, Dhanush had warned at that time that if the 3-second clip of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan from Nayanthara’s documentary was not removed within 24 hours, then he would fight a legal battle. Now the judge postponed the decision on the petition filed by Netflix last week without giving any date. In this case, Judge Abdul Quddus ruled that Netflix, which had contracted to release the documentary, has no right to sue over copyright, and he dismissed Netflix’s case.
Dhanush had filed a case
Dhanush and his production house Wunderbar had filed a case against Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivan. On which the court had also sought a response from Nayanthara. After which the actress said that she had sought permission from Dhanush to use the clip of the film, which she got. After which she used BTS footage, not the clip of the film. Taking action on this, Dhanush sent a legal notice to Nayanthara demanding 10 crores.
