The unprecedented enthusiasm comes as Jana Nayagan marks Vijay’s much-awaited return to the big screen and is being promoted as his final film before fully focusing on politics. The actor took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu earlier this year after the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s victory in the Assembly elections, making the release even more significant for his supporters.
Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan released in cinemas on Thursday amid massive anticipation. The film stars Vijay alongside Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Narain.
The film reached theatres after overcoming multiple delays and a prolonged certification process with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Despite an online leak earlier this year, the excitement around the film remained unaffected.
With huge advance bookings and strong fan support, Jana Nayagan is expected to register one of the biggest openings of the year. The film also carries emotional significance for fans as it is being promoted as Vijay’s final film before his full-time political journey following his swearing-in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
