Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, a Netflix docu-film exploring the life, career, and celebrated wedding of actress Nayanthara, has sparked significant attention amidst an unfolding controversy. Recently, Nayanthara issued an open letter accusing actor Dhanush of demanding ₹10 crore to permit a brief, 3-second clip from their film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary. While Dhanush has yet to respond to these claims, the dispute has fueled further interest in the release.
Despite the minimal promotion, the documentary offers viewers an intimate look at Nayanthara’s journey, with reflections from her co-stars and industry colleagues. Spanning 1 hour and 22 minutes, the film is available for streaming in multiple languages, including English, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil.
Netflix reportedly invested a considerable amount in acquiring exclusive rights to Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s wedding footage. Originally planned for release years ago, the documentary faced several delays, including setbacks related to Dhanush’s refusal to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Now available to stream, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale has finally arrived, with audience reactions anticipated in the days ahead.
