Ramanathapuram: TVK workers distribute sweets outside theatres to celebrate the release of 'Jana Nayagan'
Ramanathapuram, July 23
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam workers and Vijay fans celebrated the release of 'Jana Nayagan' on Thursday by distributing sweets outside theatres across Ramanathapuram, as the actor's 'final' film opened in more than 1,000 theatres across the state.
The celebrations were witnessed at several cinema halls, where party functionaries greeted moviegoers and marked the long-awaited release after months of delay.
In Ramanathapuram, a large number of TVK executives led by district secretary Malarvizhi Jayapala distributed sweets to people arriving to watch the film at a theatre, joining fans in celebrating the film's release.
'Jana Nayagan' was originally scheduled for a Pongal release on January 9 but was postponed after running into certification issues.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) held back the film's certification over concerns that certain scenes could potentially hurt religious sentiments, resulting in a delay of several months and disappointing Vijay's fans.
Directed by H Vinoth, 'Jana Nayagan' stars Vijay alongside 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.
A political action drama, 'Jana Nayagan' is billed as Vijay's final film before he shifts his complete focus to politics. Over a career spanning more than three decades, the actor has delivered several blockbuster films, including Leo, Bigil, Ghilli and Pokkiri, making Jana Nayagan a landmark release for his fans.

Finally after all the CBFC delays and drama, the film is out 🙏. Honestly, such censorship issues are ridiculous—hurting religious sentiments is a vague excuse. Anyway, Vijay's fans have waited patiently. Enjoy the celebration, Ramanathapuram folks!
TVK workers distributing sweets—good outreach for the party too 😄. Vijay's shift from cinema to politics is a big moment for Tamil Nadu. But I hope the film delivers on substance, not just star power. Fingers crossed for a solid political action drama!
What a moment for Vijay fans! 🎊 The delay due to certification was frustrating, but now the celebrations make it all worth it. I'm curious how the film will address political themes—given Vijay's own journey into politics. Ramanathapuram looks happy!
As someone from the US, it's fascinating to see how political parties in India merge with film fandoms. Vijay has serious charisma. But I hope the CBFC's concerns were legitimate—religious sensitivity is important in a diverse country. Enjoy the release!
Sweet distribution is a nice gesture, but I hope TVK isn't using this for political mileage too much 😅. Anyway, great to see the film finally releasing after so many hurdles. Vijay has earned this farewell from cinema. All the best to the team!
