The trailer for Thalapathy Vijay’s highly anticipated film, Jana Nayagan, was released on January 3, 2026. As the actor’s final film, excitement is at a peak. However, the trailer recently faced heavy criticism for an apparent editing blunder: the Google Gemini logo briefly appears, suggesting AI tools were used in post-production. This revelation has ignited controversy among fans, who feel that art should be authentically crafted without technological shortcuts. Concerns over the film’s rushed quality surfaced, particularly since it serves as a farewell to Vijay, with many believing he deserves better treatment. Directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Venkat K. Narayana, Jana Nayagan also features Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, and Mamitha Baiju. The film is set to hit theaters on January 9, 2026, during Pongal. The production team has yet to address the backlash regarding the use of AI in editing.
