Pooja Hegde shared behind-the-scenes photos with co-star Vijay on the release day of 'Jana Nayagan'.

It faced a prolonged delay due to certification issues over potentially sensitive religious content. The movie features a star-studded cast including Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, and Bobby Deol.

Jana Nayagan: Pooja Hegde shares pics with Vijay from the sets

Chennai, July 23

As 'Jana Nayagan' finally hit the theatres on Thursday, actor Pooja Hegde expressed her happiness by sharing a few pictures from the sets with his co-star Vijay.

"Release day is here and for ONE LAST TIME, one last dance... your Halamithi and Habibo.. Kayal and Vetri (Red heart emoji) #jananayagan, " she posted.

Directed by H Vinoth, Jana Nayagan also stars Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani and Narain.

The film features music by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan, editing by Pradeep E Ragav and production design by V Selvakumar. 'Jana Nayagan' finally hit the theatres on Thursday after a prolonged delay due to certification issues.

The film was originally expected to be released during Pongal on January 9. The film ran into trouble when the CBFC decided to hold back its certification because certain scenes in the movie could potentially hurt religious sentiments. Jana Nayagan, a political action drama, is Vijay's final film before he shifts his full focus to his political career.

Over the past thirty years, Vijay has delivered a remarkable body of work, cementing his place as one of Indian cinema's biggest superstars. As he prepares to bid farewell to acting with his final film, Jana Nayagan, he leaves behind an unforgettable legacy, especially with his films such as Leo, Bigil, Ghilli, and Pokkiri.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. CBFC delays always make me wonder what got cut. But Vijay has given us so many classics—Ghilli and Pokkiri are unmatched. Hope this one lives up to the hype and doesn't get watered down. 🤞

Pongal release delay was such a disappointment, but better late than never! Anirudh's music is always a treat. Let's see how H Vinoth handles this political drama—he did well with Thunivu. Vijay's political entry is going to be massive.

I'm a Tamil cinema fan from the US, and I've been following Vijay's journey for years. This movie feels like the end of an era. The way he balances mass appeal with meaningful roles is incredible. Can't wait to stream it online after the theatrical run! 🇮🇳🎬

Pooja Hegde's post is so sweet! "One last dance" gives me chills. Vijay's legacy is truly unmatched—Leo was a masterpiece, and Bigil had so much heart. I just hope the political angle doesn't turn into a lecture. Fingers crossed for a emotional farewell! 🥺❤️

While I respect Vijay's decision to enter politics, I feel sad that we won't see him on screen again. He's been part of my childhood—from Poove Unakkaga to Ghilli to Kaththi. This is truly the end of an era. Hope the film is a fitting tribute to his stardom. 🙏
