Published by Parlour News

Ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, scheduled for April 23, another controversy has erupted in the state, once again revolving around a film, and that too with a Vijay connection. Now, a public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking to stall the release of the movie titled Thanga Natchathiram 2026, aka TN 2026, until the polls are over, which would give it a fate similar to that of Jana Nayagan. Soon after the makers unveiled the teaser for TN 2026 on Thursday, April 2, many pointed out that the central character played by Natty Natraj resembled actor-politician Vijay, the founding president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). While most claimed that the political comedy spoofs Vijay, a few others speculated that it was aimed at boosting his popularity, particularly since his Jana Nayagan, which was supposed to do so in the run-up to the elections, remains mired in a censorship row. Through the teaser, the makers also announced that TN 2026 will hit the screens on April 10. …
