Are Jana Nayagan makers going the GOAT way to unveil first glimpse of Thalapathy Vijay starrer?
Thalapathy Vijay starrer Jana Nayagan is slated to hit the big screens on January 9, 2026. As the H Vinoth directorial is months away from release, it seems the makers might be going the GOAT way for its first-ever glimpse.
As per a report by Let's Cinema, the Vijay starrer is likely to drop its glimpse on June 22, 2025, coinciding with the superstar's 51st birthday. While first looks are the norm for the actor's birthdays, Jana Nayagan's posters were dropped earlier this year.
In 2024, the makers of The Greatest Of All Time released a glimpse for the actor's birthday, and now it seems the upcoming venture would do the same. However, an official confirmation is yet to come from the makers of Jana Nayagan.
Talking about the film, the much-awaited venture is touted to be a political action drama and is considered the actor's alleged final movie. Even though the details about the same are yet to be made, the filming took place with an army backdrop.
With Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol playing the co-leads, it also has an ensemble cast of actors like Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju, Monisha Blessy, and more in key roles. Additionally, rumors speculate that Shruti Haasan might play a cameo appearance.
Interestingly, the film made the headlines earlier after it was speculated that it would be the remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer Bhagavanth Kesari.
The reports of the same were peddled across the internet after the makers bought the remake rights. However, it was later noted that the Jana Nayagan helmers bought the rights to use a 'Good Touch, Bad Touch' scene from the NBK starrer.
While more details about the Thalapathy starrer are yet to come in, the movie is musically crafted by Anirudh Ravichander. Interestingly, the 5th collaboration of the musician in the superstar's film is confirmed to have the sensational Hanumankind sing a rap song.
Coming to Vijay's work front, the Master actor was last seen in The Greatest Of All Time, directed by Venkat Prabhu. The spy action drama featured the story of a former anti-terrorist squad leader reuniting with his son, who was presumed dead.
However, things take a turn when the man realizes that his supposed 'son' is not who he thinks he is.

Vijay & I are living the dream our father left his village to chase: Anand Deverakonda
"The other day, while we were out, someone came up to my dad and marvelled at how much I resemble him. I guess I've begun to resemble him more now. I suppose it's only natural — my father is fundamental to everything we are as a family. ' 'It all began with his dream' But life had other plans. He got married at 25 or 26, and not long after, my parents had Vijay. With a family to support, he had to make choices. He became a director because he had responsibilities to meet. Back then, entertainment didn't pay well. There were only two TV channels — Doordarshan and DD2. It was a tough life. Humble. Modest. Living from pay cheque to pay cheque, and often not knowing when the next one would come. But no matter how tight things got, he never let us feel the weight of it. 'He was the first to see the actor in Vijay' He introduced us to the magic of cinema. Back then in the 2000s it was the era of renting DVDs. He'd show us different kinds of cinema. Me and Vijay studied at hostel in Puttaparthi. We lived in Vanasthalipuram and during summer vacations, we'd come home and frequented Shiv Ganga, Konark, Megha and Raghavendra theatres. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo It was my dad who first imagined Vijay as an actor when he was just a child. He saw it before any of us did — and you could say he set it all in motion. My dad made sure Vijay had access to an action master, dance master, karate master. He'd always tell him to run around… He thought I'd become a sportsman. I was crazy about cricket. I remember I'd be up at 6 in the morning and push my dad to bowl for me for hours together. He'd patiently indulge me. Well, I ended up surprising him. Even when we didn't do well in exams — no matter what happened — our parents never judged us for the choices we made. They gave us complete freedom, and that gave us the confidence to make our own decisions. After Vijay came back home after completing school, he wasn't keen on academics and was interested in drama. My dad spoke to theatre veteran Vinay Varma , arranged ₹30,000, and enrolled him in an acting workshop. 'I took the leap because he believed in me' I went on to pursue my MS and moved to the US. By 2017, I was working as a Senior Consultant, doing tech strategy, when Arjun Reddy released. Life was comfortable — stable, well-paying — but I slowly realised it wasn't what I truly wanted to do. When I told my mother that, she simply said, 'Move back.' Around that time, Vijay had just launched his clothing line, and I thought I'd return home and help him with that. But then someone approached my dad with the script of Dorasani. He read it, passed it on to me — and, as always, left the decision entirely to me. Looking back, I know I could take that leap because I had the kind of parents who stood by me no matter what. Their faith in me is what gave me the courage to begin. He saw the actor in Vijay long before the rest of us did. He never pushed us, just gently nudged us toward what he believed we could become. Whether it was enrolling him in an acting workshop or bowling with me for hours — he always showed up. Quietly, patiently, without ever expecting anything back I got to see a different side of him last year when we went on our first family vacation to New York. While we were walking in Central Park, he hugged us and said 'You guys have some so far. I'm so proud.' Life had come full circle 'Whatever we've done, he's been right behind us' Two of the most important lessons I've learnt from my dad are to always put family first, and to stay practical — about life, work, everything. He just has so much innate love — and he shows it by being fully present. He's involved in every aspect of our lives. He's the single point of contact for everything in our production house. Recently, we bought a piece of land in our village, and he's taken it upon himself to turn it into an organic farm. He believes that's the future. That's just who he is — steady, thoughtful, and always there, having our back. I got to see a different side of him last year when we went on our first family vacation to America. While we were walking in New York's Central Park, he hugged us and said 'You guys have some so far. I'm so proud.' Life had come full circle. But I know it all began with the dream he once dared to chase. Thank you, nanna — you dreamed for us before we even knew how to dream. — As told to Karthik Pasupulate

Ever since Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna acted in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, rumours have been swirling that the two are dating. The two often posting pictures from the same place has also always added to the intrigue, even though neither of them likes to talk about it. At the pre-release event of Kuberaa, Rashmika broke out in a large smile and couldn't stop blushing when asked about Vijay. (Also Read: 'None of us are ₹2000-3000 crore actors': Nagarjuna praises real pan-India superstar; it is not Allu Arjun, Prabhas) The anchor at the event, Suma, asked Rashmika some rapid-fire questions. The actor spoke of how money can't buy someone family and happiness. She asked her what qualities she would like to copy from the person she names. When asked about Nagarjuna, Rashmika said she'd like to copy his charm and aura, and Dhanush's 'ability to do everything from under the sun' like acting, directing, dancing and more. Rashmika also said she would like Allu Arjun's 'swag'. When asked about Vijay, she blushed, paused with a wide smile on her face before saying, 'Everything, I'll take it all,' making the audience hoot. While rumours of Rashmika and Vijay have floated around for a while, fans were convinced that they were dating when they both posted separate vacation pictures with the same background. Rashmika also posted pictures and videos from Vijay's house in the last few years, making fans believe they were more than just friends. Once, a fan even spotted them dining out together abroad, making it feel more concrete. However, Vijay and Rashmika have often maintained that they're friends, choosing not to comment on it. Rashmika will soon star in Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa with Dhanush and Nagarjuna. The film will be released in theatres on 20 June. She will also star in Thama and The Girlfriend. Vijay will soon star in Gowtam Tinnanuri's Kingdom, which will be released on 4 July.
