What happens
Jana Nayagan (Tamil pronunciation: [dʑanaː n̪aːjagan]; transl. People's Hero) is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language political action thriller film directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions. The film stars Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol and Mamitha Baiju, alongside Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain and Priyamani. A partial remake of the 2023 Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari, it was intended to be the final film appearance of Vijay before his transition into politics and the first film to be released after he became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. It is also the first production of KVN Productions in Tamil cinema. The film was officially announced in September 2024 under the tentative title Thalapathy 69, due to it being Vijay's 69th film as a lead actor, and the official title was announced in January 2025. Principal photography commenced in October 2024 in Chennai continued by a schedule in Payanoor, which was again followed by two additional schedules also held at the former location, and wrapped by August 2025. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography handled by Sathyan Sooryan and editing by Pradeep E. Ragav. Initially scheduled for release on 9 January 2026, the release of the film was delayed for several months due to issues between the producers and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The entire film was leaked online on 9 April 2026 and widely pirated and distributed illegally, leading to the producers to seek legal action against social media accounts that shared clips or links to the film. The film was reported to have become a loss-making venture even before its release, largely due to the online leak. In July, the censorship issues were rectified, with the film now set for release on 24 July 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
