Telugu audiences have expressed disappointment over the different release strategies followed for Jana Nayagan and The Raja Saab across languages. Because the understanding shown by Prabhas’s team is not reciprocated by Vijay’s film team.
Out of respect for Jana Nayagan, the makers of The Raja Saab postponed its Tamil version to January 10, giving Jana Nayagan a clear solo release in Tamil Nadu. But the situation is different in the Telugu states. The Telugu version of Jana Nayagan, titled Jana Nayakudu, is releasing on January 9, the same day as the Telugu version of The Raja Saab. In addition, Jana Nayakudu is receiving a good number of shows, especially in multiplexes.
The Raja Saab is getting affected by Jana Nayagan’s Telugu Release
Since Jana Nayakudu is being released by PVR Inox Pictures in the Telugu states and has strong screen support, many Telugu audiences feel that their film is being affected. This has raised questions about why the same level of respect shown in Tamil Nadu is not being followed in the Telugu states.
The issue has now become a major topic of discussion among fans and trade circles ahead of the releases. Many believe that just as The Raja Saab made space for Jana Nayagan in Tamil Nadu, the Telugu version of Jana Nayagan could have allowed The Raja Saab a solo release window in the Telugu states.
