No. Amid speculations, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) granted to the actress has surfaced online. The NOC, issued by Sivaji Productions to Nayanthara’s production company, Rowdy Pictures, confirms no financial demands were made.
Clarifying the same, Tamil film industry tracker Manobala Vijayabalan shared that the claim was “untrue” since Nayanthara had already received the NOC from Sivaji Productions. He also shared a copy of the NOC document along the post.
The document shared by the industry tracker reads, “This is to certify that Sivaji Productions has no objection to the use of the following video footage in the Netflix documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale,'” read the No Objection Letter, dated November 2, 2024.
