Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan react to Jana Nayagan leak
Ahead of the theatrical release of Thalapathy Vijay’s last film, Jana Nayagan, the actioner was leaked on social media. The incident was condemned by the industry. In his tweet, Rajinikanth expressed “shock and pain.”

He was joined by his KHxRK co-star Kamal Haasan, who thinks “it is not an accident.” Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Nayakan actor penned, “It is the result of systemic failure. Had due process been timely, we would not be here. Inordinate delays in certification created fertile ground for piracy. When legal access is stalled, illegitimate channels take over.”
Haasan further expressed that piracy is beyond politics. “It is an attack on the art and artist itself. It endangers the work of hundreds of artists and technicians, and the investments of honest tax paying producers, exhibitors and theatre owners, all who sustain the cinema we love. Who protects the creator when the system fails? We need accountability, swift certification, strict enforcement, and real-time takedowns. I trust true lovers of cinema will unite and give a befitting response by watching the film legally in theatres, as you stood with me in the past,” penned the superstar in his post.

Minutes ago, Vijay Deverakonda also expressed his anger over the leak. In his post, he wrote, "The #JanaNayagan leak makes me angry. I’ve experienced personally the pain and sense of loss when something like this happens, early in my career. You feel like a target, you feel a loss of hope, it’s not just about me, there are co-actors, directors, producers, and so many who have all their dreams on the line. "
The Ranabaali actor further added, "This current issue needs to get sorted Asap and the people behind it identified, and if it doesn’t it reflects a systemic failure. It keeps reminding us how insensitive people can be, and the extent some will go to cause harm without a second thought. I send my thoughts and my unconditional support to the entire team of the film."
