Vijay's Jana Nayagan overseas bookings open; Canada prioritises VIP members
Advance ticket sales for Vijay's final film Jana Nayagan has started in several overseas markets, with Canada adopting a phased booking system that gives early access to VIP members.
After months of anticipation, actor-turned-politician Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, is gearing up for its theatrical release later this month. While advance bookings in India are yet to begin, ticket sales have already opened in overseas markets, including the UK and Australia, with Canada adopting a phased rollout for bookings.
Canadian distributor York Cinemas announced on Wednesday that advance bookings for Jana Nayagan would open in stages, with the first 24 hours reserved exclusively for VIP members. The priority window has been extended to customers who had previously purchased tickets for the film and are still awaiting refunds.
In a statement shared on July 15, York Cinemas said ticket exchanges would be permitted only in person at the theatre's box office. The distributor also confirmed that VIP members would continue to receive priority access on the second and third days of bookings, with tickets opening to the general public only after the exclusive booking window concludes.
The phased release comes amid strong overseas demand for Vijay's swansong. In the UK, distributor Ahimsa Entertainment revealed that thousands of tickets were sold within the first hour after advance bookings opened, underlining the excitement surrounding the film's release.
The makers have also confirmed that Jana Nayagan will release in Indian theatres on July 23, a day ahead of its previously announced worldwide release on July 24.
In another key development, the film received a revised certification on July 14 after undergoing a minor modification. Its runtime has been extended by 41 seconds, taking the final duration to 3 hours, 3 minutes and 52 seconds. The UK version, however, will be screened completely uncut.
The film is also expected to open with a special title slate reading, "The Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu C. Joseph Vijay," acknowledging Vijay's transition from cinema to politics ahead of what is being billed as his final screen appearance.
Directed by H Vinoth, Jana Nayagan stars Vijay alongside Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Priyamani. With overseas bookings already witnessing a strong response and Indian ticket sales expected to open soon, all eyes are now on one of the biggest theatrical releases of the year.
