Janarthanan "Jana" lives in a village in Tamil Nadu, and leading a life incognito, taking up the cause of the villagers, and making enemies around. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jana's past is revealed. Jana is actually a terror to the Mumbai dons and corrupt politicians. At the present, Jana finally meets his rival Bhandari, who is released from prison to have his final round with him.
The film was announced in early 2002 titled as Thiruda. Trisha Krishnan was initially signed on to play the lead female role but pulled out due to unavailability of dates.[3] The title was subsequently changed to Jana after the lead character and Ajith began filming in December 2002.[4][5] Trisha's role was later taken by Sneha.[6]
The shooting took place at Palghat where some sets were erected. It was a lavish set costing ₹9 lakh, consisting of two big bungalows, one belonging to Raghuvaran and the other to Radharavi, in the film. Most of the story has taken place in these bungalows. Among those present were hero Ajit and heroine Sneha. The sets have been designed by art-director Maniraj. Apart from Palghat, a 20-day schedule took place at locations like Ottappalam, and Shornoor in Kerala.[7]
