Madras High Court dismissed Netflix India's plea to dismiss Dhanush's copyright suit against actress Nayanthara
Dhanush: The Madras High Court dismissed Netflix India's plea to dismiss the copyright suit filed by Dhanush against Nayanthara, objecting to the use of Dhanush's film clips in her documentary without her consent.
The Madras High Court dismissed Netflix India's plea to dismiss Dhanush's copyright suit against actress Nayanthara today on Tuesday. The suit started with the use of a three-second film clip produced by Dhanush in Nayanthara's documentary without her consent.
In November last year, Dhanush filed a civil suit against Nayanthara, her husband Vignesh Shivan, and her production house Rowdy Pictures Pvt Ltd. The suit alleges that the filmmakers have used scenes from Dhanush's film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' in the Netflix Original Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale.
Dhanush's production company Wunderbar Films Pvt has also filed a petition seeking permission from the High Court to sue Los Gatos Production Services India LLP. Los Gatos Production Services India LLP is a Mumbai-based entity that handles Netflix's content investments in India.
