Actress Nayanthara was detained in the Malaysian airport today and that lead to some cruel rumors intended to defame the leading actress who climbed to the top of the heroine ladder with immense hard work and cleverness in selection of scripts.

Nayan had visited Malaysia for the shooting of 'Iru Mugan' directed by Anand Shankar in which she pairs up with Vikram. The film is being produced by Shibu Thameens of SKT Films banner.

The makers of the film have issued a clarification statement about the entire fiasco and we bring that to you.

The issue has actually happened when Nayanthara entered the Malaysian airport to catch her flight to return back to India. And this was not for the name mismatch in passport as it is being speculated since morning.

"Work permit rules in Malaysia are different in the two terminals. Usually travellers to India travel through KL1 terminal. Nayanthara had to catch a flight of the new airline Malindo, which operates from KL2. The immigration officials over there required a few clarifications on work permit and visa stamping for her supporting team. Later Nayanthara herself spoke to the authorities and cleared the issue. Nayanthara and her staff traveled back to India smoothly.

The production team and line producers of 'Iru Mugan' have lodged a complaint with the immigration dept for snaps of Nayanthara and her passport copy getting circulated online which lead to false speculations and rumor. They are also planning to take action against those responsible for circulation of such rumors about their film's lead actress.
