Now theatre management alleged that Vijay\'s fans targeted them.\r\nVasu Cinemas in Kumbakonam took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify that they have chosen to screen Parasakthi over Jana Nayagan this Pongal due to &lsquo;several reasons&rsquo;. They also reminded fans that they have screened all Vijay films in their theatres for 15 years, barring a few, such as Nanban, Theri, Sarkar, and Beast.\r\nWriting that choosing Parasakthi doesn&rsquo;t mean they respect Vijay less, they added, &ldquo;After we posted about signing #Parasakthi, we received comments on X and Instagram that were shocking. We urge you to read them yourselves and ask were they fair or justified in any sense? The level of abuse, vulgarity and curses went so far that it seriously disturbed our mental peace. Please take a moment to reflect.\r\nThe theatre management also placated fans by writing that &lsquo;Vijay is not just a star, he is a remarkable human being&rsquo;. &ldquo;I truly understand the frustration of not being able to watch your favourite star&rsquo;s film at your favourite theatre it hurts and I get that. But this is his final film,&rdquo; they wrote, adding, &ldquo;Instead of abusing and attacking, please go to the theatre, enjoy the film and celebrate it to the fullest.&rdquo;\r\nHowever fans reacted in angry manner.\r\n&ldquo;He helped revived theatres during Covid time. And yet we&rsquo;re here reading explanations from theatre owners on why they can&rsquo;t screen Jananagayan,&rdquo; commented one fan. &ldquo;Just won&rsquo;t go to this theatre from now onwards. Simple,&rdquo; wrote another offended fan. One fan even fumed, &ldquo;Enjoi screening what ever you want.. we dont care anymore.. if you had respect you would have taken his last film.. but you dont.. get lost!&rdquo;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;

Jana Nayagan eating up Telugu films shares during Sankranti. Vijay's film Jana Nayagan is releasing in Telugu as Jana Nayakudu and Jan Nayak in Hindi. The makers slotted the film in such a way that it releases on the day of Prabhas' The Raja Saab and it gets good time before the releases of other Tollywood films like Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Ravi Teja's Bharta Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, Sharwanand's Nari Nari Nari Naduma Murari, Naveen Polishetty's Anaganaga Oka Raju during Sankranti.
Telugu distributors are angry that Tamil dubbed film like Jana Nayakudu is getting importance during Sankranti which will impact the revenues of other Telugu films. Few years back, Telugu producers and distributors reached an agreement to defer the release of dubbed films during festivals but this is not being followed. Last year dubbed films like Vijay&rsquo;s Varisu and Dhanush&rsquo;s Captain Miller were released after the Sankranti.
But this year this is not followed. A distributor says " The Raja Saab and Jana nakaudu is expected to secure between 60 and 80 theatres across the two Telugu states. These rules are just a farce,&rdquo; He questioned &ldquo;Will Tamil distributors offer a similar window for a Telugu film like The Raja Saab during the Pongal festival in Tamil Nadu? However, Telugu exhibitors and distributors have no qualms in accommodating dubbed films,&rdquo;
The distributor added &ldquo;It is already difficult to manage screen allocation with so many Telugu films releasing together. Bringing in a dubbed film at this time will only cut into revenues,&rdquo; the distributor pointed out. Leading exhibitor Suniel Narang confirmed that Jana Nayakudu will indeed release on January 9 in the Telugu states.
