All the discourse around director H Vinoth's film Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay, until and even after the release of its trailer has been about whether it is a remake of director Anil Ravipudi's Bhagavanth Kesari, featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead role. Fans were quick to spot the resemblance between both films as soon as KVN Productions dropped the Jana Nayagan trailer on YouTube the other day. At the same time, the Vijay starrer has also been facing flak for what google-eyed fans claim is the negligent use of AI for the purpose of the trailer. At one point in the trailer, what seems to be a part of the Gemini AI logo appears. Since then, internet users have been criticising the makers of the film for the 'mistake'. Some YouTubers are calling it more than just a case of 'negligence' from the makers and is rather a misuse of artificial intelligence.
Despite the criticism, the apparent Gemini AI watermark element is still present in the film's trailer on YouTube. For the uninitiated, it comes at around the 25-second mark in the trailer.
The criticism for the Vijay film comes amid uncertainty over the censorship delay among exhibitors, adding pressure on them to figure out show timings and other scheduling factors. As reported earlier, Jana Nayagan is slated for a January 09 release in theatres. Also releasing ahead of the Pongal festival is Sudha Kongara and Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi.
Just in case you are yet to watch it, here is a link to the trailer for the Vijay starrer. Watch it and decide for yourself:
