Fans took to comment section to share their opinion. One user wrote, “Nayanthara didn't take any payment for her dance in Dhanush's production 'Ethir Neechal'. She could easily demand 2-3 crores for that song!”. Another user wrote, “In 2012 film remuneration for Heroins are around 1 to 1.2 crores ! You need 3 crores for a song when the movie budget is under 5 CR ? What a joke”. “Fan bases gonna blindly follow behind dhanush because of patriarchy. She didn’t care about paying for the theee seconds more so why dragging her all these years”, wrote the third user.
