Dhanush Vs Nayanthara: What Exactly Happened?

Nayanthara recently wrote an open scathing letter accusing Dhanush of holding a personal grudge against her and her partner, Vignesh Shivan.

Let’s look back at their film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which played a big role in changing their relationship.

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan holds a special place in Nayanthara’s career. It showed her talent and gave her a significant personal milestone—she met Vignesh Shivan, whom she later married.

But the film also created tensions between Nayanthara and Dhanush, the producer of the film.

Nayanthara quit films after Sri Rama Rajyam in 2011 due to personal struggles and media scrutiny. However, she made a successful comeback in 2013 with Raja Rani, and then hit another high with films like Thani Oruvan and Maya.

Her performance in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan was widely praised, and she won several awards for playing a hearing-impaired woman seeking revenge.

While the film was a big success, rumors about Nayanthara and Vignesh’s relationship started during filming. Their bond grew stronger, and they eventually got married and had twins.

Before Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, Nayanthara and Dhanush had worked together in Yaaradi Nee Mohini and were close friends.

However, during the production of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, Dhanush reportedly wasn’t happy with how things were going, especially when the film’s budget shot up in a big way.

Despite the film being a hit, there were rumors that Dhanush lost money on the film.

The tension between Nayanthara and Dhanush grew after the film. Nayanthara accused Dhanush of saying hurtful things to her and Vignesh that left a lasting wound.
