Unlike traditional collective titles, Jan Naygan was chosen to underline the democratic core of the story.

“It’s not a common word. It’s a film about democracy and that’s why we chose this title. The first poster itself mentioned ‘the torch bearer of democracy’,” he said.

Recalling that period, Vinoth described it as one of the most difficult phases of his career. He said, “There were a lot of dreams and plans attached to this. Everything was collapsing at once. A year of life was wasted. But I am confident that people will give justice to all this.”

However, the director credits producer KVN Productions, Vijay and the actor’s longtime manager, Jagadish, for saving the creative team from major repercussions. “They handled the major issues, be it censor certificates or leaks. We only faced minimal heat,” he said.

Despite the setbacks, Vinoth believes that the audience has continued to support the film. He said, “I would like to give a big salute to them for their honesty. Vijay’s films perform well even on weekdays like weekends. We seek their support and hope that they will help us get justice.”
