Jana Nayagan marks Vijay’s final film before entering politics
Notably, Jana Nayagan is Thalapathy Vijay’s final film before his full-time entry into politics. The film was initially scheduled to release on January 9, 2026, during the Pongal festival, but was postponed due to delays in obtaining its censor certificate.
Actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay, took the oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10, 2026, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
