Thalapathy Vijay starrer Jana Nayagan is one of the most anticipated films of the year, as it marks the actor-politician’s final film before he quits movies to join politics full-time. As the release date approaches, the latest reports indicate that ticket prices have surged to as high as Rs 2,000 in Tamil Nadu.
Jana Nayagan is set to release on January 9, coinciding with Pongal. Advance bookings for the film have opened in Karnataka, and most of the morning show tickets are already sold out, despite prices ranging between Rs 1,000 and Rs 2,000.
For instance, Mukunda Theatre has a 6:30 AM show priced at Rs 1,800 and Rs 2,000, with all tickets reportedly sold out on BookMyShow. The lowest-priced morning show tickets start at Rs 800 at select theatres, with shows beginning at 9:30 AM and 10 AM, priced between Rs 300 and Rs 800.
Morning shows at theatres such as Swagath Shankar Nag, Sri Vinayaka, Cinephile HSR Layout, Gopalan Grand Mall, Sri Krishna, Brundha RGB, Vaibhav, Prasanna, and others have also sold out, with ticket prices ranging between Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500.
While ticket bookings have yet to open in other major cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, the highest-priced ticket in Kochi is Rs 350.
Helmed by H Vinoth, Jana Nayagan also stars Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde, and Bobby Deol. The film is backed by KVN Productions, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
Fans are also facing a dilemma as Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi is set to clash with Jana Nayagan at the box office. Addressing the widely discussed box office clash with Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, Sivakarthikeyan candidly shared what transpired behind the scenes.
