Pooja said, “As a person who loves to watch him on screen, I'm very sad. But I also support his journey. I'm rooting for him. So, more power to him.”

Meanwhile, there have been reports about whether Jana Nayagan would actually be Thalapathy’s last film before he enters his political career full-fledged.

Quite interestingly, especially after the first look reveal of the film recently, fans have been made aware of a slight political undertone for the H Vinoth directorial, which has appeared to many as an ode to Thalapathy’s impending political career.

Recently, the filmmaker gave a clarification over this matter, where people have ended up speculating if the theme and plot of Jana Nayagan meant any dig or attack on any political party or leader.

However, H Vinoth mentioned that his film would be far from that, adding how fans would finally be able to watch Thalapathy Vijay in his true element on-screen in this particular movie.

Moreover, the director even added how it was the Tamil icon himself who wanted the film to be such something, which every age group of people would easily relate to.
