Jana Nayagan To Get 6 More Scenes?
Changes to the film were made before its July 23 release, and it was sent for recensoring. The makers reportedly implemented some changes in the film after it was leaked online in April. The makers are now planning to add 6 deleted scenes to the film screening next week. The information was shared by director H Vinoth at a recent event.
When the host at the event asked if there were any deleted scenes from Jana Nayagan, the director said, “Yes, there are six scenes featuring sir [Vijay]. There are two fun scenes, two action scenes, and two emotional scenes.” However, these are deleted scenes and will be released directly on YouTube. It is to be noted that the deleted footage will not be added to the main film running in theatres, but will be made available on YouTube as bonus scenes.

Words like ‘Bhagavatha’, ‘Oththa’, ‘India en kalla vizha vaikaren’, ‘Thevidiya Paiya’, ‘Ranganathar’, ‘Siluvaila’. Some dialogue was also muted in the film, and words such as “Om” and “New India” were removed during the explanation of Operation Meluha. The makers were also asked to replace the name Sheela Rani wherever used. The makers also have to modify the visuals showing Dr. Ambedkar on the book’s cover. Another dialogue referencing Ambedkar has also been replaced.
