Rajinikanth’s new look for ‘Sarkar’ Movie

Fans of Pooja Hegde may be disappointed as the actress is expected to have limited screen presence in Vijay’s much-awaited film Jana Nayagan. Director H. Vinoth has revealed that Pooja plays the role of a television journalist in the film but appears only in a few key scenes.

According to Vinoth, Pooja’s character originally had a much larger role in the script. However, several portions featuring her were removed during the editing process to reduce the film’s runtime. The director reportedly apologised to the actress, explaining that her character had greater importance in the original version.

The revelation has come as a surprise to fans who were eagerly waiting to see Vijay and Pooja Hegde share the screen again after their previous collaboration Beast. Many expected Jana Nayagan to further strengthen Pooja’s position in Tamil cinema, but the reduced screen time has changed those expectations.

Despite the limited role, fans remain hopeful that Pooja Hegde will leave a strong impact with her performance. Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is set for a grand theatrical release on July 23, with advance bookings already witnessing a strong response, especially in Tamil Nadu.
