Bobby Deol opens up on working with Vijay in Jana Nayagan; says, “He’s a very simple man”
JAN NETA is the story of an extraordinary man. The year is 2013. Thalapathy (Thalapathy Vijay) is serving a prison sentence at Madurai Central Jail. Several attempts have been made to kill him behind bars, but he has survived each one due to his courage and fighting prowess. The newly... appointed jailer, Srikanth (Gautham Vasudev Menon), is intrigued by Thalapathy and begins looking into his past. Srikanth’s wife is no more, and he is single-handedly raising his daughter, Viji (Mamitha Baiju). Srikanth temporarily allows Thalapathy to leave prison to visit his mother (Revathy), who is on her deathbed. This decision leads to Srikanth’s suspension. After being released from jail, Thalapathy immediately goes to meet Srikanth, as he feels responsible for his predicament. He also forms an instant bond with Viji. When Srikanth dies in a road accident, Thalapathy takes responsibility for Viji and raises her as his own daughter. Meanwhile, John Himler (Bobby Deol), like Thalapathy, is also imprisoned, but in Swasnia, an African nation. He brutally escapes from prison, killing several inmates in the process. He aims to attack India in a manner that the authorities could never have anticipated. He is aided by Roja Rangaswamy (Prakash Raj), an influential politician in Tamil Nadu. How Thalapathy stands in their way and how he, John and Roja are connected forms the rest of the story.
