Government officials, including police personnel and senior administrative officers, were also present at the venue.

The special screening came after Vijay reportedly left the Secretariat earlier than usual to attend the event before the film’s grand release.
‘Jana Nayagan’ reaches theatres after overcoming several hurdles
The release of ‘Jana Nayagan’ has been one of the most closely followed events in Tamil cinema. Directed by H. Vinoth, the film was originally planned for a Pongal release but went through several delays owing to certification troubles and legal proceedings.

But the makers overcame all these odds and managed to complete all the necessary formalities, and finally the film is ready to hit the theatres with tremendous anticipation.

For Vijay’s fans, the special screening had an emotional importance as it was the actor watching his own last movie after becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The moment has added to the excitement surrounding the release, with celebrations taking place across theatres in several cities.Alongside Vijay, ‘Jana Nayagan’ stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju and Narain in key roles, while Anirudh Ravichander composed the film’s music. The release is expected to be one of the biggest milestones of Vijay’s illustrious career.
