Thalapathy Vijay’s rumored final film, Jana Nayagan, is now confirmed to release on the big screen for Pongal next year. The movie is officially scheduled for release on January 9, 2026, after being pushed back from its original Diwali release this year. The superstar himself shared the updated release date along with a fresh look.

Check out the official post here:

Jana Nayagan has been creating significant buzz ever since its production was announced in 2024. Directed by H Vinoth, this action-packed drama delves into political themes. Headlined by Thalapathy Vijay, the film also stars Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol in key roles. In addition to them, the movie boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju, Monisha Blessy, and several others in pivotal roles. The music for the film will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

There are rumors suggesting that directors like Nelson Dilipkumar, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee may make cameo appearances in the film. Jana Nayagan is being hailed as a tribute to Thalapathy Vijay’s remarkable career in the entertainment industry.

Previously, the makers revealed two different looks for the film, with one of them featuring Vijay paying homage to the late actor MGR. With rumors swirling that Thalapathy Vijay is shifting his focus to politics, this film is expected to be his final appearance on the big screen.

On the superstar’s professional front, Thalapathy Vijay was last seen on the big screen in 2024 with the release of The Greatest Of All Time (also known as The GOAT). Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the film is a spy action drama in which Vijay plays a dual role. The story follows a spy agent who is torn apart from his family after the loss of his son. However, things take a dramatic turn when his son unexpectedly returns, but with a dark and sinister plan.
