This piece of information may break the hearts of all the fans of Nayanthara and Vignesh who were eagerly waiting for their wedding to be streamed online and get to be a part of it.

If gossip mills are to be believed, the reason behind the cancellation of the deal is said to be the photographs that Vignesh Shivan shared on his social media recently. It is being reported that since Vignesh shared some unseen photos on social media, it didn’t go well with Netflix, who had brought the rights to it for a whopping price. And therefore, Netflix decided to cancel the deal, reportedly.

Vignesh Shivan shared photos of the wedding on the completion of one month, in which some celebrities including Shahrukh Khan, Rajinikanth, filmmakers Mani Ratnam and Atlee were also seen. If reports are to be believed, Vignesh believed that delaying posting wedding pictures for too long also wasn’t right. It is being said that he believed that if the photos are delayed for longer, then the craze of their marriage will end and the fans will no longer be interested in it.

Did Netflix pay for their wedding? If reports are to be believed, Netflix had borne the entire cost of Nayantara and Vignesh's wedding and their celebrations. From room bookings at a five-star-rated resort in Mahabalipuram to erecting a glass palace on the beach, food arrangements, expensive make-up artists and security guards, among other things, all these arrangements were reportedly arranged by Netflix.
