Released in 2013 and produced by Dhanush, Ethir Neechal starred Priya Anand and Nandita Swetha. The movie featured the catchy track Local Boys, with Nayanthara making a special appearance in the music video alongside Sivakarthikeyan and Dhanush.

A viral video recalling Nayanthara's generous cameo in Dhanush's Ethir Neechal highlights their past friendship, contrasting with the current tension over footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.

Nayanthara penned an open letter to fellow actor Dhanush for ‘blocking’ the use of film footage in a Netflix documentary. Now, an old video of her apologising to the south superstar has gone viral.

Dhanush had once revealed Nayanthara did a song for free for him. She didn't charge him money owing to their friendship.
