Hanumankind confirms rap song in Thalapathy Vijay's final film Jana Nayagan: ‘Anirudh's created a great track'
Renowned rapper and songwriter Sooraj Cherukat, known professionally as Hanumankind, has revealed that he has lent his voice to director H Vinoth's upcoming political action thriller, Jana Nayagan. In the news since its announcement for being 'Thalapathy' Vijay's final film before his retirement, following which he would set his complete focus on politics and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), Jana Nayagan is one of the most anticipated Indian movies at the moment. 'I have rendered a great rap song for Thalapathy Vijay in Jana Nayagan, composed by Anirudh (Ravichander),' Hanumankind said during a chat with Ananda Vikatan. Although he did not disclose further details about the track, with his involvement, the hype for Jana Nayagan is expected to go up further. After rising to international acclaim with the single 'Big Dawgs' (2024), Hanumankind had recently sent waves across the globe with 'Run It Up', which even received an endorsement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for showing India's traditional martial art forms in the music video. Watch Jana Nayagan first look poster here: Previously, he lent his voice to two movies, singing the tracks 'Maadeva', composed by Charan Raj for the Kannada crime actioner Popcorn Monkey Tiger (2020), and 'The Last Dance', crafted by Sushin Shyam for the Malayalam comedy masala Aavesham (2024). He made his acting debut in director Aashiq Abu's Rifle Club (2024), starring alongside Vijayaraghavan, Dileesh Pothan, Anurag Kashyap, Vani Viswanath and Darshana Rajendran, among others. The shooting for the final leg of Jana Nayagan, which went on floors in October 2024, is currently underway. The film is H Vinoth's sixth directorial venture after Sathuranga Vettai (2014), Theeran Adhigaram Ondru (2017), Nerkonda Paarvai (2019), Valimai (2022) and Thunivu (2023). While Jana Nayagan's music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, with whom Vijay collaborated in movies such as Kaththi (2014), Master (2021), Beast (2022) and Leo (2023), its lyrics are penned by Arivu. Bankrolled by KVN Productions, the movie boasts cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan and editing by Pradeep E Ragav. Jana Nayagan will hit the screens on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Pongal.

Vijay's fans in Madurai follow him on bikes without helmets despite him asking them not to: ‘This is dangerous'
Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party chief Vijay spoke to the press on Thursday at the Chennai airport before he boarded a flight to Madurai. He claimed that he was not heading there for political reasons but to shoot for his final film, Jana Nayagan, and had a message for his fans. (Also Read: Was Vijay attacked by unknown person at Coimbatore airport? Fans bust rumours) Vijay spoke to the press at Chennai airport and claimed that his visit to Madurai was not for political reasons. The Federal translated what he said in Tamil: 'There is a lot of misinformation spreading on social media about my Madurai visit. I just want to make it clear that this is not a political visit. It's for my professional work. I am going to Kodaikanal for the Jana Nayagan shoot.' He then told his fans that he was worried for their safety due to their reckless behaviour. He said, 'I feel very sad and worried when I see my fans riding bikes without helmets to follow me. This is reckless behaviour. I urge everyone to prioritise safety and avoid such actions.' This appeal came after chaotic situations ensued in the cities he had visited so far, with one fan even jumping down from a tree to meet him. Vijay's fans, however, seemed to pay no heed, with many already ready in cars and on bikes to follow him from the airport. A video posted by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) shows fans celebrating even before he landed in Madurai by hanging out of cars from the windows and zooming on bikes without helmets. ANI also posted a video showing all traffic being halted to allow Vijay to pass through in his caravan, flanked by security. Fans can be seen running behind his vehicle, hanging out of car windows or sunroofs, and on bikes without helmets while waving TVK party flags. Vijay also came out of his vehicle to wave at fans waiting for him. The police can be seen trying their best to control the crowd. Vijay plans to contest the 2026 elections, and H Vinoth's Jana Nayagan, starring Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Mamitha Baiju, will be his final film.
