Pooja Hegde’s Plea to Fans
Pooja Hegde expressed disappointment over the illegal leak of Jana Nayagan, urging audiences to respect the film and its creators by watching it in theatres.
Actor Vijay’s final unreleased film, Jana Nayagan , has leaked on piracy websites. As HD prints first appeared online, many actors from the Telugu and Tamil film industries condemned the leak. Now, the film’s female lead, Pooja Hegde , has also expressed her hurt and disappointment over the leak, urging audiences to watch the film the right way, in theatres.
Controversy Surrounding ‘Jana Nayagan’ Release
She added, “To see it being leaked and shared illegally is tough—not because of numbers, but because it takes away the respect that every artist and technician on the film deserves. Plus, don’t we all deserve to gather together to celebrate and watch Vijay sir’s last film, one last time, on the big screen in the right way? So let’s watch it the right way. Let’s wait. It will be out in due time. Let’s not encourage piracy. That’s how cinema and art will survive. Love, Art. Artists. Technicians.”
Jana Nayagan was scheduled to release in January, but was postponed after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) did not certify it. The CBFC raised objections to some of the film’s content, after which the makers moved court. The matter is sub judice, and hence, the film’s release remains stalled. Now, amid that delay, the film has been leaked online. The incident has triggered a wave of outrage among the film fraternity. Rajinikanth expressed shock and pain over the leak, requesting the government to take strict action against those responsible, while Kamal Haasan called it an “attack on art”, among others.
Industry Outrage Over Film Leak
While the makers are yet to announce an official release date, anticipation remains high for the project. Vijay is preparing to step into active politics through TVK, with both he and the party set to contest the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The actor and his party have alleged that the delay in the film’s release has been influenced by his political opponents.
The ‘Jana Nayagan’ leak has sparked outrage, with calls for strict action against piracy. Despite the setback, anticipation remains high for Vijay’s final film before his political foray, with hopes for an official release date soon.
