Vijay's Jana Nayagan Inspired by Anil Ravipudi's Bhagavanth Kesari
Anil Ravipudi, the director of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari, recently shared how Vijay's upcoming Tamil film Jana Nayagan came to be inspired by his work.
During the shoot of The GOAT, Vijay called Anil Ravipudi to appreciate his film and later decided to remake it.
Anil Ravipudi granted the rights, allowing the producers to use certain elements, particularly the emotional track between the father and daughter.
The remake, however, tells a different story and is not a direct copy of the original.
