Explaining the delayed release the actor said, “After two long years of battling it out with you for an No Objection Certificate (NOC) and waiting for your approval for our Netflix documentary release, we finally decided to give up, re-edit and settle for the current version.”

Nayanthara further criticised the actor for wearing a mask in the public eye. “I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage in audio launches in front of your innocent fans but clearly you do not practice what you preach, at least not for me and my partner.”

Actor Dhanush who holds the rights of the film ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ issued a legal notice to Nayanthara for using videos from the film in the documentary without prior permission.

Commenting on it the actress said, “Issuing legal notice for the usage of some videos (just 3 seconds) which were shot in our personal devices and that too BTS visuals that are already much publialy present on social media is an all time low from you and speaks so much about your character”

According to the letter, Dhanush claimed for a sum of Rs.10 crore as damages for using the scenes from the film.
