Kuala Lumpur, Dec 28 (.) The audio launch of “Jana Nayangan”, billed as Thalapathy Vijay’s final cinematic outing before his foray into politics, unfolded as a deeply emotional and historic evening at the National Stadium Bukit Jalil in Malaysia on Friday.
More than a promotional event, the grand celebration, branded Thalapathy Thiruvizha, served as a tribute to a career that has shaped popular Tamil cinema for over three decades.
After addressing the massive crowd gathered for him, an emotional Thalapathy Vijay said at the event, “I don’t know whether to say it or not but my last film is a little painful right? What do you want me to do?”
Recalling his early days as an assistant director, filmmaker Atlee highlighted Vijay’s humility. He said, “When I was an AD, on my last day, he called me and told me, you are working really good and hard. If you have a story, let me know. At that time, he had completed 50 films. No big star who completed that number of films would do that. He is a nice man.”
Atlee concluded with a poignant analogy that struck a chord with the audience. He said, “We will see three kinds of people in life. Someone would be like leaves, they would come and go when their purpose is over. There will be branches, but they will go off in a storm. But, people with you are like roots, Vijay Na. They will never leave you.”
The evening featured a nostalgic retrospective of Vijay’s most popular songs, seamlessly blended with live performances of newly released tracks from Jana Nayagan. Music composer Anirudh Ravichander led a powerful live orchestra, elevating the atmosphere. Singers including Vijay Yesudas, Anuradha Sriram, Haricharan, Krish, S. P. Charan, Tippu, Shweta Mohan, Yogi B, Andrea Jeremiah, and Sanjana Divaker Kalmanje performed at the event.
Several prominent filmmakers and actors such as Lokesh Kanagaraj, Nelson Dilipkumar, Atlee, Nasser, and Srinath were also present alongside the film’s cast.
Directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, “Jana Nayangan” boasts a formidable ensemble cast featuring Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain and Priyamani.
The film is slated for a theatrical release on January 9, 2026, reports PINKVILLA.
The audio launch will be telecast on Zee Tamil and streamed on Zee5 Tamil, offering fans across the globe a glimpse of Vijay’s storied career. . . .
