A shocking incident occurred today with Nayanthara going in an online fight with Dhanush. The Actress mocked the Actor for not granting broadcast permission of her film, Nanum Rowdy Dhaan, which was produced by him, for her wedding documentary. She also went on to state he demanded a whopping 10 crores from her side if she wants to have rights on this matter which she took objection to. But Netizens now also criticised the Actress for putting in many conditions to the Producers of her film terming her also being commercial.

Netizens are feeling that Nayanthara is no different from Dhanush for also being stubborn and arrogant. As we all know, Nayanthara doesn’t promote her films through interviews or by attending the pre-release or Audio launch events. But she has started doing these for the films produced by her production house, Rowdy Pictures. Bringing these out, they felt that she didn’t help the Producers all the time.

If Dhanush hasn’t agreed for this, what was the need of mocking him publicly when u can fight legally is the question that arised from the majority section of netizens. They also pointed out that the wedding documentary of Nayanthara was given for Netflix as part of money making. They felt that she could have put that on YouTube instead allowing all to watch for free. This way they felt that she made her wedding and this documentary a commercial project.

Nayanthara’s plan of pulling down Dhanush has badly misfired now with many pulling out these observations. They also wanted her to state why he demanded this amount as she probably knows the exact reason. Netizens are also waiting to see if Dhanush replies to this officially. Let’s wait and see what happens on this issue.

Today, a shocking incident took place with Actress Nayanthara coming out heavily against Kollywood Actor, Dhanush. She alleged that Dhanush was very persistant on not allowing her to use any shots or clips from her earlier film, Nanum Rowdy Dhaan in her recent Netflix documentary, Beyond Fairy Tale. She even said that Dhanush demanded a whopping 10 crore to grant permission to use anything related to Nanum Rowdy Dhaan since he was the producer. But the question will be, Why Dhanush demanded 10 crore for the documentary?

Nayanthara and the Director of Nanum Rowdy Dhaan, Vignesh Shivan fell in love with each other during the making of the film and married each other later as well. So, the documentary needs to include this which also stands as a major point in their love story and marriage. But this was denied by Dhanush as alleged by Nayanthara.

A Tamil trade analyst also tweeted demonstrating the same opinion.

We didn’t the exact reason behind Dhanush’s decision but he must clarify about this issue. Many are hoping that he would put his reason before them as well.

Changes made to Kanguva still not helping

0

Kollywood’s most anticipated film, Kanguva which released recently acquired a negative response from the audience. This was a big shocker to the audience and makers as well. No one expected such low quality content as alleged by the audience from the film. This prompted the makers to come up with an edited version of Kanguva in the theatres from the second day. But these changes made to Kanguva are still not helping.

People to who watched Kanguva complained of loud sound and screams coming out from many characters in the film. The BGM composed by Devi Sri Prasad was also felt too loud. The makers have realised this issue immediately and changed the sound mixing reducing the sound. Some portions during the climax fight were also added newly to this changed version. But these changes didn’t attract the audience as expected by the makers.

Kanguva grossed more than just 40 crores worldwide on the opening day shocking all. The Day 2 gross will be less than half of this indicating a futher decline. Moreover, the other released which released during Diwali, Amaran and Lucky Baskhar have still been running strong and are attracting more audience. This has also affected Kanguva which received a negative word of mouth. Trade analysts believe that Kanguva may even close below 100 crore mark worldwide. This is a big disastrous result.
