- Vijay's party TVK won 108 seats, becoming Tamil Nadu's largest party in 234-member Assembly
- New Jana Nayagan title card reads: "Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu C. Joseph Vijay"
- Fans celebrated in theatres after seeing the updated title card for Jana Nayagan
Theatres in the South turned into celebration zones after videos surfaced online showing a new title card for Vijay's upcoming film, Jana Nayagan.
Actor-turned-politician Vijay recently scripted history with his political debut. His party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly, securing 108 seats.
Amid this, clips shared on X showed the new Jana Nayagan title card that reads: "Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu C. Joseph Vijay in Jana Nayagan."
This drew thunderous reactions in theatres, with fans cheering, dancing, and celebrating throughout.
Many social media users called it a historic first, with one fan writing, "First ever CM title card for an ACTOR in India." However, it remains unclear which theatre screened the version with the updated title card.
Interestingly, the inclusion of the Chief Minister reference appears to reflect public sentiment. After Vijay's electoral win, fans had been actively demanding that the film acknowledge his new political stature.
Jana Nayagan Producers On Vijay's Big Win
Reacting to Vijay's victory, Venkat K Narayana of KVN Productions shared a congratulatory message on X that read, "Heartiest congratulations to our 'Jana Nayagan', Thalapathy Vijay sir, on scripting history today against all odds. It is indeed a revolution and one that will echo for generations to come."
Jana Nayagan Release Delay
After missing its January 9 release date, the makers had hoped to bring the film to cinemas in February, but that did not materialise either.
The Tamil film reportedly contains political references, which led the Censor Board to forward it to the Election Commission, particularly after the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) came into force on March 15.
Billed as Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan is yet to be released in theatres. Directed by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Mamitha Baiju.
