Actor Pooja Hegde recently posted on Instagram to declare that she had rightly called her Jana Nayagan co-star Vijay's election win in advance and, not surprisingly, her post has gone viral. Pooja has also been trending on X, with a separate post where she congratulated Vijay after his political party TVK's landslide win in the Tamil Nadu elections, saying it was "party time" now.

Apart from Pooja's felicitation upon Vijay's political victory, her posts also bring Jana Nayagan back into the conversation. The film has been awaiting release since January 2026, owing to censor hassles.

What were Pooja Hegde’s posts about?

In an old Instagram reel she shared on Tuesday, Pooja is seen pointing at a question that reads, "Who wins the elections?" She then stands next to Vijay, who hides his face, blushing. Sharing the clip, she wrote, "Guess I called it before it happened? Here’s to dreams turning into reality, Vijay sir (sic)."

Earlier in the day, she had posted a photograph with Vijay. In the picture, the two are seen in co-ordinated outfits, smiling for the camera. Along with it, she wrote, "OMGGG. Congratulationssss @actorvijay sir. This Thalapathy Kacheri is just getting bigger and bigger. Onwards and upwards only. Party Time. Let’s gooo."

TVK’s performance in Tamil Nadu

Vijay’s party emerged as the single largest party in Tamil Nadu, winning 108 of the 234 seats and defeating the DMK and the AIADMK. However, it remained short of the majority mark of 118 needed to form the government on its own. As the single largest party, TVK is likely to be invited by the Governor to form a government.

The election result also drew congratulatory reactions from celebrities, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Rashmika Mandanna and AR Rahman, among others.

Jana Nayagan awaits certification

Pooja and Vijay’s social media exchange also turned attention back to Jana Nayagan. The film is yet to receive certification and has not been cleared following legal disputes between the production house and the Central Board of Film Certification.
