The Tamil Nadu government has appointed producer K Venkata Narayana as the Special Representative to the Government of Tamil Nadu at New Delhi for a period of one year. Given that he’s the producer of Vijay’s yet-to-be-released final film, Jana Nayagan, the move has been questioned online.
K Venkata Narayana to be TN government’s liaison to Delhi
A GO dated June 23, signed by the Chief Secretary of TN, M Sai Kumar, was leaked online on Friday. The order reads: “Sanction is accorded for the creation of a temporary post of Special Representative to the Government of Tamil Nadu at New Delhi, for a period of one year with effect from the date, on which the appointee takes charge or till the need for it ceases, whichever is earlier. Thiru Venkata Narayana, K is appointed as Special Representative to the Government of Tamil Nadu at New Delhi, in the post sanctioned in para 1 above. The terms and conditions on appointment of Thiru Venkata Narayana, K. as Special Representative to the Government of Tamil Nadu at New Delhi will be issued separately.”
Internet reacts to Jana Nayagan producer’s appointment
People were confused by Venkata’s appointment for the role, given that he’s based in Bengaluru, where he runs KVN Productions. “Compensation for Jana Nayagan leak?” questioned one X (formerly Twitter) user, reacting to the GO. “KVN's... you're the producer of Jana Nayagan, right...? This person is getting into politics too? Is that why you came along when going to meet the governor?? Or rather, what about Jana Nayagan...? What will happen to Jana Nayagan...? ??” questioned another. One even wrote, “Venkat Narayana was raised and based in Bengaluru. Though he speaks Telugu (mother tongue), Kannada, English and Tamil, the fact that he’s not based in Tamil Nadu means that, at best, he will try to be a fixer at a political level.”
