Vijay bids farewell to cinema with Jana Nayagan before full-time politics

Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay is gearing up for his last film before transitioning into full-time politics. With his political party already announced and multiple public meetings held, his political entry has become a major talking point. However, fans are equally eager for his final cinematic outing, Jana Nayagan. Produced by KVN Production and directed by H. Vinoth, the makers have officially announced that the film will release on January 9, 2026. Positioned just ahead of Makar Sankranti and Pongal (January 14, 2026), Jana Nayagan is set to dominate the box office during the festive season—an ideal time for blockbuster releases in both Tamil and Telugu cinema. Pongal has historically been a lucrative period for Tamil and Telugu films, and with a superstar like Vijay leading the charge, anticipation is at an all-time high. The film’s first-look poster, which went viral, features Vijay taking a selfie with a massive, electrified crowd—symbolising his deep-rooted connection with his fans. The title Jana Nayagan, meaning “The People’s Leader,” aptly reflects both his on-screen charisma and his growing political influence.
