Despite efforts, the illegal activity continues unabated, with the most recent and notable victim being director H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan, touted as the swansong of actor Joseph Vijay, who currently serves as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. During a recent interview, renowned producer G Dhananjheyan urged the central and state governments to crack down on those engaged in piracy, book them under stringent sections of the law, and ensure they receive strict punishment. Pointing out that only a united, strong movement can keep the illegal act at bay, Dhananjheyan maintained that the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) recently apprised Vijay of the situation and sought his support in the battle against it.

Mamitha Baiju on Jana Nayagan Leak: ‘I didn’t believe it, it was disappointing and painful’ | Tamil News

3 min readHyderabadApr 22, 2026 04:00 PM IST It was not a news alert or a social media notification that told Malayalam actress Mamitha Baiju that Jana Nayagan had been leaked. It was her brother. The actress, who plays a key role in Vijay’s final film before his full-time entry into politics, opened up about the moment she found out and the disbelief that followed. “At first I didn’t believe it, as you can’t trust everything on social media. In fact I thought this shouldn’t happen, but much to my horror, my brother was the one who first informed me. It is very unfortunate,” she said in a recent interview. The film, directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, was originally scheduled to release on January 9, coinciding Pongal. It was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification in December 2025 and got stuck there, caught in a prolonged legal battle between the producers and the CBFC that dragged through the courts for months without a resolution or a new release date. …
