The trailer of Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay, has become a major talking point on social media, though not entirely for the reasons the makers may have anticipated. While fans were thrilled to see Vijay in a commanding police avatar, a minor detail in the trailer quickly ignited a widespread online debate.

Released on Saturday evening, the trailer showcased Vijay in a powerful cop role, packed with intense action sequences and dramatic moments. Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is a political action drama slated for a grand Pongal release on January 9, 2026. The film holds special significance as it is being promoted as Vijay’s final cinematic outing before he fully transitions into active politics.

However, shortly after the trailer went live, eagle-eyed viewers noticed a brief frame featuring a Google Gemini AI logo appearing in the corner of the screen. The discovery spread rapidly across social media platforms, triggering criticism from netizens who accused the makers of overlooking such a visible detail, especially for a big-budget production. Some users expressed concern over the increasing use of artificial intelligence in filmmaking, fearing it could gradually replace traditional creative processes.

Not all reactions were negative. Several fans came to the film’s defence, stating that the issue was being exaggerated. Others responded with humour, turning the moment into memes and sarcastic remarks, with many labelling it a “rookie editing mistake.” Platforms like X and Instagram were flooded with jokes and commentary within hours.

By the following morning, updated versions of the trailer surfaced online with the AI logo removed, indicating that the makers acted swiftly to address the backlash. Despite the controversy, Jana Nayagan continues to generate strong buzz, keeping expectations high ahead of its Pongal 2026 release.
