However, the hype for the film has not lowered with fans asking for updates about the film from time to time. While it is common for makers to release an update about the film during the star’s birthday, the silence from the makers of Jana Nayagan so far, with Vijay’s birthday on June 22, has been bothering fans who began to question the production house, KVN Productions. No official announcement scheduled for June 22 has been made, and netizens can be seen visibly irritated by it.
