What Ravi Mohan said

The actor took to his X account on Thursday and shared the official statement from Jana Nayagan makers, which had confirmed that the release of the film has been delayed. In the caption, he wrote, “Heartbroken @actorvijay Anna.. as a brother I’m standing with you as one among the millions of brothers beside you. You don’t need a date.. you are the opening.

About Jana Nayagan delay

The official statement of the delay was shared on Wednesday evening, two days prior to release. “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the initial release of Jana Nayagan, scheduled for 9 January 2026, has been postponed to a later date. We are currently awaiting further updates from the production team. Once the new release date is confirmed, official announcements will be shared through our authorised platforms,” read the official note from the makers of Jana Nayagan. Directed by H Vinoth, the film stars actors Vijay, Prakash Raj, Pooja Hegde, and Mamitha Baiju, among others. Jana Nayagan is Vijay's final film, as he intends to focus on his political career with his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.

Meanwhile, Ravi plays the antagonist in Parasakthi. Written and directed by Sudha Kongara, the film also stars Sivakarthikeyan, Atharvaa and Sreeleela in the lead roles. The trailer offered a glimpse into a politically charged story centred on Tamil Nadu's resistance to Hindi imposition. In the film, Sivakarthikeyan portrays a grounded character as a coal tosser at the Indian Railways.
