Ever since the release of ‘Jana Nayagan’ in theatres, videos of celebrities, politicians and fans watching Vijay‘s last film have been doing the rounds on social media. Meanwhile, another clip has gone viral among the celebrations, with some social media users claiming that Vijay’s estranged wife Sangeetha was present at the screening of the film. The video has gone viral on social media, and many of her fans are wondering whether she really did make a surprise appearance at the theatre.
Did Sangeetha really watch ‘Jana Nayagan’?
No, is the answer. Instead it seems the clip have been edited to create a false narrative. The video opens with shots of a theatre screening ‘Jana Nayagan’ and banners of the film. Then it cuts to Sangeetha, who is seen near a car wearing a face mask and then gets inside the car. The video cuts back to the theater shots, suggesting that she had come to see the movie. However, there is no indication that the footage of Sangeetha was shot on the day of ‘Jana Nayagan’ release or that she was at the theatre for the screening.
Old footage repackaged as a new claim
The Sangeetha’s clip is an older video which has been re-circulated with new edits. The same footage had previously gone viral with claims that she had attended a different film screening, demonstrating that it has been recycled to spread a new rumour. While several social media pages are sharing the video as real and even stating it’s authentic in the comments, there is no concrete proof that Sangeetha attended a ‘Jana Nayagan’ screening. The latest viral post is therefore misleading and should not be treated as fact.
Verify viral claims before believing them
The viral clip is yet another example of how edited videos can spread misinformation quickly during a major film release. Jana Nayagan has generated a huge public interest and several unverified posts have appeared online in recent days. Fans should refer to credible sources before believing such claims. There is no confirmed evidence of Sangeetha attending a screening of ‘Jana Nayagan,’ and the video doing the rounds does not prove the claim being made on social media in this instance.
