Jana Nayagan Trailer Sparks AI Controversy
Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming movie Jana Nayagan got into trouble because people saw a Google Gemini AI logo in its trailer.

They thought it was a mistake, especially for a big movie like this.
The makers of the movie quickly removed the logo, but people were still talking about it.

Google Gemini AI watermark spotted in Jana Nayagan trailer, sparking controversy.
The watermark was removed after widespread criticism on social media.
