Tamil star hero and now Chief Minister Vijay Joseph is preparing for the release of his final film as an actor, “Jana Nayagan.” The movie, which has been surrounded by delays and hurdles, is finally hitting theatres under the banner of CM Vijay, a coincidence that has added even more hype.
The repeated postponements had initially cost the film several lucrative OTT deals, with platforms showing little interest. But everything changed after Vijay’s political rise. Now, the same OTT giants that once backed away are returning with bigger offers than before.
Industry talk suggests that Amazon Prime Video, which earlier opted out, is back in the race with a massive proposal. Meanwhile, ZEE5 has also entered discussions, and reports indicate that the makers may finalize one of these platforms soon. The suspense over which OTT service will secure the digital rights has become a hot topic in trade circles.
Jana Nayagan features Pooja Hegde and Mamitha Baiju in key roles, with music by Anirudh Ravichander and production by KVN Productions. With its theatrical release just days away, the film is expected to draw huge crowds, not only for its cinematic appeal but also for the historic moment of watching a Chief Minister’s last movie on the big screen.
