The Kantara actor, took to social media to share his excitement after watching the trailer. In his X post, he wrote, "#jananayagantrailer is on fire! Wishing @actorvijay sir all the best and massive success to @KvnProductions #HVinoth @anirudhofficial & the entire team." Though the trailer further increases speculations of the remake of Anil Ravipudi's 2023 film Bhagavath Kesari, the news wasn't confirmed by the makers.

Speaking to Ananda Vikatan magazine, the film's director H Vinoth about the film's being a remake of Bhagavath Kesari, he said "Lot of reports are coming in that the film is inspired from Bhagavanth Kesari or that is a remake of it. What I would like to say again that fans is that you don't have to worry about it" he remarked, adding, "For now I cannot say if Jana Nayagan is a remake of Bhagavanth Kesari or not. Those who think if it's a remake film, and question why they have to watch it again, I suggest you to wait until the first show ends. You will get the answer at the time. The trailer and songs will also give you further clarity. But what I can say is that it is a Thalapathy film." Jana Nayagan brings together a star studded cast including Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, and Narain. The film is set against a political backdrop, packed with powerful dialogues. The film, marking the first collaboration between Vijay and H Vinoth, is the actor’s farewell film before his political plunge in the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu elections.
