As actor Vijay prepares to transition fully into politics and bid farewell to cinema, his final film ‘Jana Nayagan’ has already begun creating history even before its theatrical release. Directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Venkat Narayanan, the film is being widely regarded as Vijay’s swan song, making it one of the most anticipated Tamil releases in recent years.
The film boasts a star-studded ensemble featuring Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Narain, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, and Mamitha Baiju, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Jana Nayagan is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Pongal festival.
A Grand Audio Launch in Malaysia
The audio launch of Jana Nayagan turned into a festival-like celebration in Malaysia, drawing fans from multiple countries. Held at the iconic National Stadium Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur, the event witnessed an overwhelming turnout. With a seating capacity of around 80,000, reports suggest that nearly 75,000 fans attended the event, transforming the venue into a sea of Vijay supporters.
Despite extensive security arrangements, the atmosphere remained electric, with fans celebrating what is believed to be Vijay’s final cinematic outing.
Malaysia Book of Records Recognition
The scale of the event led to a historic achievement. The Jana Nayagan audio launch was officially entered into the Malaysia Book of Records, marking it as the largest-ever overseas audio launch for a Tamil film. Vijay was presented with the official certificate on stage, further amplifying the emotional significance of the night.
Even before its release, Jana Nayagan has established itself as a landmark project, fueled by its global buzz and massive fan following.
Emotional Moment at ‘Thalapathy Thiruvizha’
Ahead of the main event, a special musical segment titled ‘Thalapathy Thiruvizha’ was held, where several of Vijay’s iconic songs were performed live. The highlight of the evening came when Vijay’s mother, Shobha, made a surprise appearance on stage and sang the popular song ‘Kodambakkam Area’ from the film Sivakasi.
The unexpected moment left fans visibly emotional, with chants filling the stadium. Vijay was seen politely requesting the crowd to calm down, a moment that quickly went viral on social media and added to the emotional weight of the event.
Box Office Clash Ahead
Jana Nayagan is set to face box office competition upon release, as it is expected to clash with Prabhas’ ‘The Raja Saab’ in the same period. Despite the clash, expectations for Vijay’s final film remain exceptionally high.
