Nayanthara - Dhanush controversy: Support Grows for Nayan

The Tamil movie fraternity has been in a storm of controversy after the news that reportedly Lady Superstar Nayanthara has written an open letter to voice her protest against the actor-producer Dhanush. Nayanthara, as it was heard, has accused Dhanush of slapping her production house with a copyright strike worth ₹10 crore for using a mere 3-second behind-the-scenes (BTS) clip from the sets of their 2015 film, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.

The letter from Nayanthara overnight took the world by storm. What it also hinted at was that there have indeed been several actresses truly inconvenienced by Dhanush. Whether it is sexual harassment, molestation, or whatever else, it is what's coming out of this support from multiple heroines: a very hurt Dhanush must have ruffled some feathers at least.

Some of them include Aishwarya Rajesh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nazriya Fahadh, Anupama Parameswaran, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Manjima Mohan, and Gouri G Kishan, supporting Nayanthara. Actress Shruti Haasan also chimed in to voice support for Nayanthara, as she liked the latter's post, as they had shared screen space with Dhanush in the film 3 in 2012.
