Dhanush sends legal notice to couple who claim to be his biological parents
Dhanush and his father Kasthoori Raja have now sent a legal notice to a Madurai-based couple who claimed that the actor is their biological son.
Kathiresan and his wife Meenakshi had claimed that the actor was their third son who had run away from home to enter films, and also sought maintenance of Rs 65,000 from him. This case has been going on for years.
In the notice, which Dhanush and his father Kasthoori Raja sent through their lawyer, Advocate S Haja Mohideen Gisthi, they asked the couple to stop making “specious” claims regarding Dhanush. “My clients hereby call upon you both to desist from making false, untenable and defamatory allegations against them henceforth. Failing compliance my clients will be constrained to approach the competent Courts to protect their rights in this regard and to prevent you from carrying on and making such false, untenable and defamatory allegations against them and you both will also be prosecuted for causing defamation and consequent loss of their reputation,” the notice read.
Dhanush and his father have also asked the couple to issue a press statement stating all the allegations made by them are false and to apologise for it. If they fail to do so, they will face a defamation suit of Rs 10 crore.
