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).
