Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan<\/a> has spoken about actor Dhanush<\/a> and said that he regrets losing that friendship after the public fallout with Nayanthara. The filmmaker, who is gearing up for the release of Love Insurance Kompany, was in conversation with Gobinath for his YouTube channel. When asked about Dhanush, Vignesh said he will always consider the actor as an important person in his life.<\/p>\n

\"Nayanthara'sNayanthara’s husband Vignesh Shivan has opened up about his equation with Dhanush.What Vignesh said about Dhanush<\/p>\n

During the new interview, Vignesh said in Tamil, \u201cI like Dhanush sir a lot. His birthday is on July 28\u2026 and on that same day, my father passed away. I feel a fatherly presence in him, I identify him that way. My biggest loss is losing that relationship. That is also something I feel ashamed about. There must have been a mistake somewhere at some point. For the life I\u2019m living now, Dhanush sir is a very important person to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI was with him for two years during the VIP shoot. I used to eat only after he ate. Sometimes, we don\u2019t even understand the situation when something happens between people.\u201d<\/p>\n

About the fallout<\/p>\n

The fallout occurred in 2024, when actor Nayanthara<\/a> sparked a controversy with a scathing open letter, accusing producer and actor Dhanush of taking legal action against her and her husband, Vignesh Shivan. The dispute centred around a three-second clip from Nayanthara’s 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which was featured in the trailer of her Netflix documentary. <\/p>\n

Nayanthara’s letter elaborated that while she of course understands things are very black and white when it comes to copyright issues and legal notices, in her eyes Dhanush is losing the battle in the ‘court of God’ on moral grounds, or lack thereof. It was on the sets of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan that Vignesh and Nayanthara fell in love. The 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhan was directed by Vignesh Shivan and produced by Dhanush. Nayanthara was the lead actor alongside Vijay Sethupathi. While Dhanush didn\u2019t respond publicly, he has since taken legal action against the couple and Netflix.<\/p>\n

Love Insurance Kompany<\/a> stars Pradeep Ranganathan and Krithi Shetty. After several delays, the sci-fi romantic drama is set for a worldwide theatrical release on April 10, 2026. Vignesh has directed the film, while the music has been scored by Anirudh Ravichander.<\/p>\n

Nayanthara will be seen next in Patriot<\/a> and Toxic: A Fairytale for GrownUps. Dhanush will be seen next in the action thriller Kara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan has spoken about actor Dhanush and said that he regrets losing that friendship after the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[26563,180503,146,85,46,397,180504],"class_list":{"0":"post-376235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-dhanush","9":"tag-dhanush-nayanthara-feud","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-vignesh-shivan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
