Nayanthara documentary: Sources refute rumours over permission from Sivaji films, produce proof
The sources released a copy of the letter issued by Sivaji Productions in which the popular production house clearly states that it has no objection to the usage of a 13-second movie clip and a four-second song clip from 'Chandramukhi' in the Netflix documentary
Mumbai: There is no truth in rumours doing the rounds on social media that south actor Nayanthara did not take permission from Sivaji Productions for using clips from the film ‘Chandramukhi‘ in the Netflix documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale‘, sources close to the actor have now clarified.
They have also released a copy of the letter issued by Sivaji Productions in which the popular production house clearly states that it has no objection to the usage of ‘Chandramukhi’ clips in the Netflix documentary.
The controversy started with well-known producer and actor Chitra Lakshmanan claiming in an interview to a YouTube channel that another legal notice had been sent to actor Nayanthara and to Netflix, seeking Rs 5 crore as compensation for using the footage of the film ‘Chandramukhi’ in the docu-series on her wedding without proper permission.
Chitra pointed out that this was the second notice to be slapped on her after actor Dhanush had sent a legal notice to Nayanthara for using a three-second clip shot on the sets of his film ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ without proper authorisation.
It may be recalled that Nayanthara had then responded to Dhanush’s notice with a stinging three-page statement, which stirred up a major controversy online.
However, this time around, Nayanthara has not responded herself but sources close to her have put out a copy of the ‘No objection certificate’ issued by Sivaji Productions, the firm that produced ‘Chandramukhi’, for public consumption.
The letter, the subject of which reads, ‘No objection certificate/letter for video footage usage in Netflix documentary’, goes on to specify that it has no objection to a 13-second movie clip and a four-second song clip from the film being used in the Netflix
documentary.
Tweeting a copy of the No Objection certificate, one of the sources wrote, “Proof to say that the permission to use the footage of ‘Chandramukhi’ was taken from Sivaji films. Rumour mills can stop working now.”
