Tamil superstar Vijay's highly anticipated final film, Jana Nayagan, has been leaked online ahead of its theatrical release, sending shockwaves across the industry. The makers have confirmed that they have initiated legal action against those responsible and have issued a warning to audiences against downloading or sharing the film through unauthorized sources.
The leak, which comes just before Vijay's entry into politics with the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, has rattled the Tamil film industry. The makers' legal team has issued a legal notice after the film was leaked online, stating that they will take strict action against anyone caught circulating pirated content or unauthorized clips on various digital platforms.
The notice reads, 'Any downloading, forwarding, sharing, uploading, reposting, storing or circulating of such leaked scenes or clips of the Film Jana Nayagan through WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, websites, torrents or any other digital medium amounts to serious criminal offence and copyright violation.'
The production house has also warned the public not to download, receive, store, forward, share or circulate any leaked content relating to Jana Nayagan in any manner whatsoever through any digital or social media platform.
Jana Nayagan has been billed as the final film of actor Vijay and was set for release in theatres on January 9, but was delayed after CBFC did not certify it in time. The film has been stuck without a censor certificate for several months and has disrupted the film's release plans, international schedules, and distribution agreements.
