The Tamil Nadu government has appointed producer K Venkata Narayana as the Special Representative to the Government of Tamil Nadu at New Delhi for a period of one year.
The move has sparked confusion online, particularly given that he's the producer of Vijay's yet-to-be-released film Jana Nayagan.
Narayana's appointment was announced via a government order dated June 23, which was leaked online.
Internet users are questioning the decision, citing that Narayana is based in Bengaluru and not Tamil Nadu.
Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth and produced by Venkata, was supposed to hit screens for Pongal but was postponed indefinitely due to a delay in CBFC certification.
The film was leaked online in April in HD, and numerous arrests were made in connection with the case.
