The actor Dhanush and actress Nayanthara's case has become a sensation. It's the case with the Netflix documentary.

The actor Dhanush has filed a copyright case against the actress Nayanthara for using the clips from their movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. In a recent development, the Madras High Court has dismissed Netflix India's plea to reject a lawsuit filed by the actor's production house, Wunderbar Films.

According to the reports, the court has said that it lacked jurisdiction as its office is in Mumbai. The statement asserted that the plaintiff had failed to adhere to the required pre-suit mediation process. The streaming house also claimed that the photo that was pointed out was shared in 2020. But, no action was taken until after the documentary's release.

 Meanwhile, an advocate representing Dhanush's production house, Wunderbar Films, has said that the footage belonged to Dhanush. And that footage was used without permission. However, the production house warned Netflix after the trailer's release, but the suit was filed only after the documentary's release.
