Vignesh Shivan Shares Unseen Clip from Nayanthara Documentary Amid Ongoing Copyright Dispute

Vignesh Shivan Celebrates Nayanthara’s Birthday with Unseen Documentary Clip Amid Copyright Row

On Nayanthara’s birthday, her husband and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan shared a previously unseen clip from her Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale. The clip, excluded from the documentary due to copyright concerns, highlighted their cherished moments, underscoring the couple’s love story and creative journey.

Vignesh’s post comes in the wake of a copyright dispute with actor Dhanush, who opposed the inclusion of footage from their 2015 hit film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary. Earlier, Vignesh had shared behind-the-scenes glimpses from the film on Instagram to express his displeasure over Dhanush’s refusal.

A Heartfelt Tribute

In his touching birthday message on Instagram, Vignesh expressed his admiration for Nayanthara. “Thank you for defining what love is! Your face, your heart, your behavior—every minute of your life after we met has been dedicated to me, my uyir,” he wrote, calling her “the most unique character” he has ever known.

The filmmaker reflected on their decade-long journey, celebrating their love, dreams, and achievements. “To realize we have come this far, making all our dreams come true… seeing a slice of our blessed life on a global platform like Netflix makes me feel so satisfied and happily overwhelmed,” he wrote.

Copyright Conflict and Legal Action

The unseen clip was accompanied by the song Kannaana Kanne from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. However, Dhanush’s legal team has raised objections, citing copyright infringement. They recently issued a statement demanding the removal of the contentious content from public platforms within 24 hours, threatening legal action if not complied with.

Addressing the situation, Vignesh expressed hope for understanding and reconciliation. “Some day, some good day… people will really understand where we are coming from!” he concluded, sharing the excluded voice-over clip as a token of love for Nayanthara.

What’s Next?

While the documentary Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale remains a celebration of the actress’s life and career, the ongoing legal tussle has sparked debates around creative rights and copyright in the entertainment industry. Fans are now waiting to see how this dispute unfolds, with hopes that it won’t overshadow the heartfelt story of Nayanthara and Vignesh’s journey.
