The film, which was scheduled to release on January 9 on the Pongal weekend, had to be postponed at the last moment. Not only has it had to be postponed, but the release of Vijay's last movie has also been postponed indefinitely.

Hundreds of tickets for the movie were sold before this news came. Preparations have now started to refund them.

Biggest ticket refund

What happened after the release of 'Jana Nayakan' was postponed? It is considered to be the biggest ticket refund ever in the history of Indian cinema. According to industry trackers, BookMyShow alone had to refund more than 4.5 lakh tickets. In India itself, an amount of about Rs 1 crore has been returned to the audience.

While in the overseas market, this figure is being reported even more. The sudden decision came just 48 hours before the release of the theater owners. Audiences and trades alike were all stunned. Fans also expressed their displeasure on social media and raised questions as to why such a big film was stopped at the last moment.
