Aravinda Sametha Pre Release Event

Thalapathy Vijay needs no introduction — he’s one of the most bankable superstars in Indian cinema. His upcoming film Jana Nayagan, slated for a grand release on January 9, 2026, is generating massive buzz as it will be his last cinematic appearance before stepping into full-time politics.

Social media is abuzz with reports that Vijay has been paid a whopping ₹275 crore upfront for this political action drama — one of the highest fees ever received by an actor in the Indian film industry. Interestingly, the deal is said to be a one-time upfront payment with no profit-sharing terms.

Jana Nayagan features an impressive ensemble cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Priyamani. Music maestro Anirudh Ravichander has composed the soundtrack, and Vijay himself has lent his voice to a special song titled One Last Song, dedicated to his fans.

With immense anticipation surrounding its release, Jana Nayagan is poised to make history — both as a cinematic spectacle and as Vijay’s heartfelt farewell to movies.
