EXCLUSIVE: Thalapathy Vijay starrer's producer says ‘Jana Nayagan is not just a farewell but…'
Jana Nayagan, starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role, is slated to release on January 9, 2026. As the actor is celebrating his 51st birthday on June 22 this year, the makers have dropped the first glimpse titled 'The First Roar,' with the producer detailing how this movie will not just simply be a farewell film.
In an exclusive note, Venkat K. Narayana, producer of Jana Nayagan and KVN Productions, expressed that Vijay's final movie is not just a professional milestone for them, but also a personal one.
The producer said, 'Working with Thalapathy Vijay on his final film is not just a professional milestone — it's a deeply personal honour. As fans ourselves, we know how much this film means to millions across the world. The 'First Roar' is just a glimpse into the cinematic and emotional scale of what we're building.'
'We're crafting a film that does justice to Thalapathy's extraordinary journey. Jana Nayagan is not just a farewell, but it's a celebration of an icon who changed the face of Indian cinema,' Narayana added.
The producer also credited director H. Vinoth's vision and powerful music by Anirudh Ravichander for enhancing Jana Nayagan to a great extent.
As the superstar is celebrating his birthday, the makers of the film unveiled the first glimpse at midnight. The short video featuring Vijay showcased him as a menacing police avatar with his twirled-up moustache and a fearless look in his eyes.
With a fiery, riot-like background in the glimpse, the First Roar was attributed to Anirudh Ravichander's thrilling track titled, The True Leader Theme.
