The trailer for Jana Nayagan shows a Google Gemini logo, irking fans.

Seems like the trailer editor of Vijay’s Jana Nayaganforgot to remove an AI watermark in one of the scenes. The trailer, launched on Saturday, showed Vijay as a cop seeking vengeance. An early scene in the trailer showed someone cocking a shotgun. A tiny silver of a scene after it showed the Google Gemini logo as shared in screen recordings from multiple Twitter accounts. However, after checking the trailer on Sunday, many couldn’t find the logo anymore. However, the clips shared before Sunday morning went viral, sparking outrage on social media, where many called the use of AI in films an ‘insult’ to the artform.

Netizens strongly react to the use of AI in the film Jana Nayagan.

One person reacted, “Using geminiai for remake movie too.” Another expressed, “Such a rookie mistakes team of #JanaNayaganTrailer Who is the editor lmfao.” A third person wrote, “400-crore budget, but what is this, man?” A tweet read, “This is unacceptable. This shouldn’t be the norm. AI doesn’t belong in movies, and it’s important to call out people who use it in mainstream media.” One more commented, “Wtf man it’s his last film ain’t it supposed to be grand.”

Jana Nayagan will release in theatres on January 9, 2026, ahead of MakarSankranti and Pongal on January 14. This is said to be the last film of Vijay before his entry into politics.
