Rumours surfaced that the film Jana Nayagan was leaked deliberately to influence the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in favour of actor Vijay. Director H Vinoth has addressed the allegations in a recent interview.
The film Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay, has been at the centre of a controversy after claims emerged that it was leaked intentionally to sway the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in the actor’s favour.
Director H Vinoth denied any involvement in the leak, stating that the allegations are baseless and that the film’s release schedule has been strictly governed by the production house.
Industry insiders say the leak, if true, would have given Vijay a promotional advantage ahead of the elections, a claim that Vinoth refutes by pointing out that the film’s marketing strategy was independent of any political agenda.
No official investigation has been launched yet, and the matter remains under scrutiny by both the film fraternity and election observers.
