Hats Off To Nayanthara For Calling Out Dhanush For Pettiness

Nayanthara called out Dhanush and shared unsavoury experiences with him. The actress, who is gearing up for the release of her Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, expressed disappointment over his refusal to grant permission to use content from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Her open letter is going viral on the internet.

Bollywood, Tollywood or Follywood, it is the men who rule the roost and call the shots. Hence when ‘Lady Superstar’ Nayanthara emerged in the Tamil film industry as a force to reckon with, there was widespread resentment among her male colleagues. They would express happiness about Nayanthara’s stardom in public and seethe in anger when the lights went down.

It is a matter of great admiration that Nayanthara has opted to expose a male colleague for his pettiness. That the colleague happens to be Dhanush would surprise only those who don’t know the actor well. A female star who has worked with Dhanush says, “Outwardly he is kind and courteous with co-stars.

But the minute he feels threatened by a co-star’s presence, he gets uppity. He is not alone. A majority of actors in Tamil do not like being overshadowed by their female co-stars.

Right now he is being judged very poorly even by his staunchest admirers. A director who has worked with Dhanush and admires his talent says, “Why did he have to do this? I’ve known him to be always kind helpful and generous.

Maybe there is more to this than meets the eye. This is not the Dhanush I know.” Nayanthara’s gutsy open letter to Dhanush is bound to go a long way.

It may even goad other Tamil actresses to come forward with their own stories of superstar tantrums. In the 1970s when Hema Malini ruled the Hindi box office she faced similar a block-out. Without naming any actor Hema told me horror tales of the “massive ego” male stars have.

They do not like being outshone. When Rajesh Khanna was King, Jaya Bhaduri refused to acknowledge his superiority. They never worked together until Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Bawarchi where they were not cast opposite one another.
