The Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime Wing has made significant progress in the investigation of the leak of actor Vijay's unreleased film, Jana Nayagan, which surfaced online on April 9. Initially, six arrests were made, but three additional suspects, including a freelance assistant editor, were apprehended on April 15. The main accused allegedly accessed the film's footage without permission while working on a different project, leading to the unauthorized distribution of clips online. In response to the leak, the Madras High Court has granted an interim injunction prohibiting internet service providers and cable operators from broadcasting any unauthorized versions of the film. The film, directed by H Vinoth and featuring Vijay alongside Mamitha Baiju, Bobby Deol, and Pooja Hegde, was intended for a January release but has faced delays due to certification issues.
