Jana Nayagan Release Date

The film had earlier missed its planned January 9 release. Later, the makers aimed for February, but that too did not happen. Reports suggest the delay is linked to political references in the film, which brought it under review during the Model Code of Conduct period.

Directed by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Mamitha Baiju. Billed as Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan is still waiting for its theatrical release.
