Jul 30, 2026 06:30 PM IST Jana Nayagan producer on roping H Vinoth for Vijay film In an interview with Galatta Plus, Jana Nayagan producer KVN Venkat Narayanan said, "We needed a strong captain to handle every department and every craft.
For a film like this, you need a seasoned and focused director.
H Vinoth is a very thinking filmmaker.
He constantly challenges the status quo and brings in new ways of doing things.
He has wide exposure to what’s happening around the world.
He reads extensively, studies global issues, understands how different countries are progressing, what could become a threat to democracy, how modern armies are evolving, and how robotic warfare, drones, and remote-operated technologies are changing the battlefield." Narayanan continued, "He brought all these aspects into the film, and from there, the central thread of the story emerged.
I never expected too many songs or dance sequences from H Vinoth anyway.
He’s a serious storyteller, and this film demanded a serious style of narration.
Anything otherwise would have diluted the impact and distracted the audience.
This was the best way to tell the story.
When I met Vinoth, he told me he’s trying to bring these angles into the film while retaining the Bhagavanth Kesari track and the scenes that Vijay sir liked.
That’s why you’ll see elements related to the people, democracy, and the antagonist’s extreme ideology throughout the film."
