Vijay Jana Nayagan OTT Rights Sold for Record Price

Vijay's upcoming film, Jana Nayagan, has been making headlines for its highly anticipated release. However, the makers have decided to push the release date to 2026 Pongal, despite the film's shooting being almost complete. The reason behind this decision is reportedly the OTT deal, which has been sold for a record price. The two digital giants, Prime Video and Netflix, have already locked their slots for this year and are unable to afford a higher price for other films.

The OTT rights for Jana Nayagan have been sold to Prime Video for a sensational price of Rs 121 crore, which is a massive deal for the makers. This move is expected to benefit the film's theatrical and non-theatrical business. Considering both aspects, the makers have made a wise decision to move the release to Pongal 2026. This will enable the film to have a big theatrical business as well as a significant non-theatrical business.

Jana Nayagan is directed by H Vinoth and marks his first collaboration with Vijay. The film features Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, and Priyamani as female lead roles. The movie is an official remake of the Tollywood blockbuster 'Bhagavanth Kesari,' which was written and directed by Anil Ravipudi. Jana Nayagan is expected to hit the screens on January 9, 2026, during the Pongal festival.

The film's production is currently underway, and the team is working at full speed to meet the new release date. With the OTT rights sold for a record price, the makers are confident that Jana Nayagan will be a massive success. Vijay's fans are eagerly waiting for the film's release, and the delay is expected to only increase the hype surrounding the movie.
