Jana Nayakudu Telugu states satellite business deal revealed. Vijay is starring in the film titled Jana Nayagan under the direction of H.Vinoth. The film is releasing in Telugu as Jana Nayakudu.

A distributor speaking to scribes, revealed the film's Telugu states satellite business deal. He said “A few distributors are being cautious about acquiring the Telugu rights since it’s not a regular commercial entertainer,” He continued “Being a political drama rooted in Tamil Nadu politics, it may not fully resonate with Telugu audiences. Besides, it is a remake of Telugu film 'Bhagavanth Kesari' and Vijay plays a cop ala Balakrishna in the original. Hence, the film’s Telugu version is being valued at around ₹10 crore-plus across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is likely to be released on an advance basis rather than an outright purchase.”

Vijay's previous film Leo directed by Lokesh Kangaraj turned out to be a hit in Telugu and so the makers initially demanded ₹25 crore for the Telugu rights, but the deal was eventually closed at ₹15 crore — and the film went on to gross ₹26 crore, proving to be a smart bet.

“In fact, Vijay’s market in the Telugu states has seen meteoric growth over the last three to four years,” the distributor notes. “Even Vaarasudu managed to earn around ₹12 crore in the region. Vijay has clearly surpassed his Tamil contemporaries like Suriya, Vishal, and Karthi.”
