Distribution circles are increasingly confident that Jana Nayagan will arrive only after the elections, likely targeting a May or June release window.

With this expectation, several films that were earlier postponed have begun locking fresh dates for February and March. Thaai Kizhavi is now set for February 27, while Youth has announced March 19 as its release date. Industry buzz also suggests LIK is eyeing the same March slot.

Meanwhile, a few other producers are said to be waiting for an official word from the Jana Nayagan team before finalising their release plans, aiming to avoid further scheduling reshuffles.
