In what many are calling a “cold war in plain sight,” Nayanthara and Dhanush were seen attending producer Aakash Baskaran’s wedding on Thursday but made it a point to steer clear of each other. The actors, both seated in the front row, kept their interactions limited to their own entourages, making their icy silence impossible to miss.

On Saturday, Nayanthara shared an open letter on Instagram, slamming Dhanush for touching "an all-time low" as he demanded Rs 10 crore compensation from the Jawan actress. The reason for the claim was a 3-second clip from Nayanthara's film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,

After Nayanthara openly put out a statement slamming Dhanush in connection to her Netflix documentary, the actress and her husband Vignesh Shivan attended a wedding where they came face-to-face with Dhanush.

Dhanush and Nayanthara—the bonafide superstars of Tamil cinema—had an awkward moment on Friday at a wedding, days after the cold war became public.

The simmering tension between Kollywood icons Nayanthara and Dhanush shows no signs of easing. The two prominent stars, currently embroiled in a conflict, recently attended producer Aakash Baskaran’s wedding on Thursday.
