As anticipation builds for the release of superstar Vijay's highly anticipated film 'Jana Nayagan', which marks his cinematic farewell before a full-time plunge into politics, actor Narain has shared intriguing details about the project and his experience. Known for his impactful performances in films like 'Classmates', 'Achuvinte Amma', and 'Chithiram Pesuthadi', Narain plays a pivotal part in this landmark movie.
A Role That Chose the Actor
In a revealing conversation, Narain emphasized that for 'Jana Nayagan', the dynamic was reversed. The actor, known for being selective about his projects, stated that he did not choose this film; rather, the film chose him. This unique circumstance highlights the significance of the role and the project's compelling nature. Narain confirmed his character is that of a scientist, describing it as an intense part crucial to the narrative.
Sharing Screen Space with a Superstar
Despite being a familiar face in Tamil cinema, 'Jana Nayagan' represents Narain's first on-screen collaboration with Vijay. He recounted sharing a couple of scenes with the superstar and reflected on their interactions. Narain noted that while Vijay's stardom has magnified since their previous meetings, his core demeanor remains unchanged. "He is as simple and reticent as ever," Narain observed.
This grounded attitude was so pervasive on set that the monumental fact that this was Vijay's final film before his political shift often faded into the background. "Perhaps this explains why, while shooting with him, the realisation about it being his final film never really dawned on me. Like everyone else, the feeling is yet to sink in for me also," he admitted. Recalling the final day of the shoot, Narain added that during production, the focus remains on the work, not on farewells.
The Road to Release
The film's journey to the audience recently cleared a major hurdle. The Madras High Court, on Friday, ordered the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to grant the censor clearance for 'Jana Nayagan'. This directive has intensified the spotlight on the official release date, which is eagerly awaited by fans across the nation.
On the work front, Narain is riding high on the critical success of the Malayalam film 'Eko' and the 'Pharma' series. He also has a lineup of Tamil projects awaiting release. Meanwhile, all eyes remain fixed on 'Jana Nayagan', a film that not only signifies a major career transition for its lead star but also promises to be a significant cinematic event.
