Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Thalapathy Vijay's unreleased film Jana Nayagan, which was recently leaked on piracy websites, has shaken the film industry. The film marks his final project following his announcement that he will retire from acting after a 33-year-long career. Jana Nayagan, originally slated for a January 9 release, was postponed after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) did not certify it.
