When film stars enter politics, their movies sometimes face hurdles due to political rivalries. Tamil actor Vijay, who recently launched his own political party and began openly criticizing the government, is now reportedly facing political issues with his upcoming film Jana Nayagan, which is also said to be his last film as a lead actor.
According to Tamil media reports, the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights of Jana Nayagan were sold for ₹100 crore to a distributor. However, the distributor has allegedly not paid the full amount and is now considering backing out of the deal. The reason cited is the political risk involved in investing heavily in a Vijay-starrer at this time.
Jana Nayagan faces the Political Heat
Industry buzz suggests that Jana Nayagan contains strong political references and punch dialogues, which could stir controversy and provoke rival reactions. This has reportedly made other distributors hesitant to buy the entire Tamil Nadu rights, with many now preferring to purchase individual area rights instead.
Meanwhile, KVN Productions, the film’s producer, is still looking to sell the complete TN rights to a single distributor. As of now, Jana Nayagan is facing political issues in its theatrical business, and it remains to be seen how these issues will be resolved.
