Chennai, July 23
Following high anticipation and several delays, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor C Joseph Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' has finally opened in theatres, bringing much joy to his fans.
As 'Jana Nayagan' hit theatres, Tamil actor Jai addressed fans and thanked them for their unwavering support.
Speaking to the media, Jai shared, "Jana Nayagan is set to release tomorrow after overcoming several obstacles and opposition. Even if the film is released on mobile platforms, Thalapathy Vijay's fans will watch it only in theatres. Like the phrase 'I'm Waiting,' all of you have patiently waited for this moment, and I thank you for your unwavering support."
The actor also went on to praise Vijay's political leadership, adding, "Our Thalapathy, Joseph Vijay, has now become the Chief Minister. I pray that his governance continues not only for the next five years but for generations to come. I also request all of you to continue extending your wholehearted support to him."

As a Chennai local, I'm glad Jana Nayagan is finally out. Fans have been so patient despite all the delays. But I hope the film focuses on entertainment and not just political messaging - Vijay's acting talent should shine through. Hope it's worth the hype! 🎥
Living in Bangalore but a massive fan. The energy at theatres in Tamil Nadu is unmatched. I appreciate Jai thanking fans for their patience - it shows respect for the audience that made Vijay what he is today. Can't wait to watch it this weekend!
I'm cautiously optimistic. As a political observer, I'm curious how the CM role will affect Vijay's films. But for now, let's celebrate the release! The team has worked hard - H Vinoth and Anirudh are a solid combo. Let the box office numbers do the talking. 📊
The festive atmosphere in Chennai is infectious! Even my non-Tamil friends are excited about this release. Vijay's journey from actor to CM is remarkable, and this film feels like a celebration of that journey. Just hope the story lives up to the expectations - no pressure, H Vinoth! 🍿
I'm from the US but follow Tamil cinema closely. The fan culture in India is something else! Vijay's fans turning a movie release into a celebration shows the deep connection he has with his audience. Kudos to Jai for acknowledging their patience - that's real fan service. 🇮🇳
