It was then allegedly leaked online by a freelance assistant editor who was working on a different film, and police made nine arrests in the case. All this as Vijay plans to contest the TN elections on April 23.<\/p>\n

Vijay\u2019s father says he anticipated troubles for Jana Nayagan<\/p>\n

Chandrasekhar said in the interview that he wasn\u2019t shocked by the challenges Jana Nayagan has faced. \u201cIf the film had been released without any hurdles, we would have been surprised. Don’t say you didn’t expect problems. When Vijay signed the film, he told the producer during the audio launch held in Malaysia, see, you are making a film when I am heading to politics. I hope you are aware of the hurdles the film would face. Are you okay with that? He knew it would face hurdles. That is why he said the same. It was well expected. We are not shocked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He was also asked about the film being leaked online. To which the filmmaker replied, \u201cCriminal minds first attack the heart and then go break the financial route.\u201d He also stated that it\u2019s \u2018speculative and natural\u2019 to believe opposition parties are involved in the leak.<\/p>\n
