Actor Pooja Hegde has vehemently condemned Jana Nayagan's leak online. For those who don't know, she is teamed with Vijay in H Vinoth's political entertainment. She emphasised how crucial it is to see the film on a large screen, particularly because it is Vijay's last movie. On Saturday, the 35-year-old expressed her disappointment on Instagram Stories.
Pooja Hegde asked viewers to watch the movie on official channels in order to honor everyone's efforts. She encouraged the audience to see the movie in theaters while highlighting the effort and commitment that went into the endeavor.
Pooja Hegde said, "My lovely audience. A film is the result of countless hours, creative risks, personal sacrifices, and a team that showed up every single day hoping to give you the best experience possible. Seeing our film leaked online is disheartening, not just for me, but for every single person who worked on it."
The actor added, "To see it being leaked and shared illegally is tough—not because of numbers, but because it takes away the respect that every artist and technician on the film deserves. Plus, don’t we all deserve to gather together to celebrate and watch Vijay sir’s last film, one last time, on the big screen in the right way? So let’s watch it the right way. Let’s wait. It will be out in due time. Let’s not encourage piracy. That’s how cinema and art will survive. Love, Art. Artists. Technicians."
