More about Jan Nayakan
Jana Nayakan starring Thalapathy Vijay is being touted as the superstar’s last cinematic appearance. Directed by H. Vinoth, the film tells the story of Vetri Kondan, a former police officer and convict, who adopts a young girl named Viji and is determined to raise her into a strong and independent woman. He also convinces him to join the army, despite his fear of violence.
Amidst these events, a grave threat is looming over India, which could potentially lead to the annihilation of its people. As Vetri Condon finds himself trapped in these circumstances, a personal vendetta also emerges, forcing him to take matters into his own hands and expose the system responsible for starting the crisis.
Apart from Vijay, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamita Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narayan, Priyamani, Sunil and many others in lead roles.
Earlier, the film was scheduled for Pongal release, but failed to gain CBFC certification on time. The controversy led to judicial intervention, which further postponed the release. However, it now appears that the film may finally be ready for release soon.
