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.
