H Vinoth is the director of Vijay's Jana Nayagan. While there were rumours that the movie is a remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna's Bhagavanth Kesari (2023), the trailer, released on January 3, confirmed the hearsay. The film's main plot seems to be inspired by MBK's Telugu blockbuster, with additional themes like robotics and state politics. 

Jana Nayagan had registered strong advance bookings in offshore markets, but the sudden postponement has brought everything to a halt. The US and UK box office were responding strongly to the pre-sales, which began well in advance. In parts of India, like Karnataka and Kerala, Jana Nayagan's advance booking were also progressing at a good pace. With a new release date for the film, it will be an uphill task for the makers to secure the same number of screens as they had for the movie's Pongal theatrical debut. 

Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, will now get a solo release on Pongal.
