Sonu Sood slams ‘heartbreaking’ leak
Actor Sonu Sood has now also reacted strongly, calling the incident “heartbreaking.” Sood took to his X to show support to Vijay and the film’s team, sharing how such leaks ignore the hard work, passion, and “sleepless nights” that go into making a film.
The actor wrote, “It’s heartbreaking to see a film like Jananayagan get leaked online. The sleepless nights, years of effort and passion that go into making a film… only those involved truly understand. It’s like their baby.”
The actor further added that piracy is not only illegal but also unfair to every artist and technician who works behind the scenes. Backing strict action against those responsible, Sonu added, “Piracy is not just illegal, it’s a complete disregard for every artist and technician behind it. This needs strict action. Standing in support of @actorvijay. Let’s respect cinema.”

Makers promise strict legal action
Earlier, the makers, KVN Productions, had released an official statement asking people not to watch or share any leaked material. The production house said parts of the movie, and in some cases almost the full film, had been illegally circulated online. They also said strict legal action was being taken in the matter.
Film’s release delayed
‘Jana Nayagan’ has already faced delays earlier due to certification issues. The film was originally expected to be released during Pongal on January 9. Fans are now waiting for a fresh update on its release. (ANI)
