Actor Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth's 18-year marriage has come to an end with the Chennai Family Welfare Court granting them a divorce. The court's verdict comes after both parties expressed their inability to continue living together. Dhanush and Aishwarya had tied the knot in 2004 in a grand wedding in Chennai and have two sons, Yatra and Lingaa, together.
The duo had announced their separation on social media in 2022 and later filed for divorce. They appeared before the family court in Chennai on November 21, where they expressed their desire to part ways. The judge overseeing the divorce case adjourned the hearing to November 27, when the final verdict was delivered.
In another development, Dhanush has filed a petition with the Madras High Court against actress Nayanthara and her husband-director Vignesh Shiva. The case centers around allegations of copyright infringement involving visuals from the film "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan," produced by Wunderbar Movies. Dhanush had previously sought damages of Rs 10 crore after the trailer of the Netflix documentary "Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale" featured three seconds of behind-the-scenes footage from "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan."
The Madras High Court has granted Wunderbar Movies' request to include Los Gatos in the case, noting that a significant portion of the dispute took place within the jurisdiction of the Madras High Court. The case is currently underway, with advocates Sathish Parasaran and R. Parthasarathy representing Nayanthara and Netflix, respectively.
