Thalapathy Vijay’s purported final film, Jana Nayagan, will have a Pongal release. The makers of the movie took to social media on Monday to share that the political drama will hit the big screens on January 9, 2026. Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth, is produced by KVN Productions. On Monday, the makers of Jana Nayagan also shared a new poster from the movie, featuring the actor-turned-politician.

In the new poster, Vijay can be seen sporting a white shirt paired with denim pants. The actor stands with his hands raised in the air, complemented by a wide smile. The poster also features several others in the background, jubilantly celebrating the occasion. The film is set to hit screens on January 14, just five days before Makar Sankranti and Pongal.

As the film is reportedly going to be the last in the actor’s career since he has decided to dedicate his life to the service of his people as a politician after that, excitement and expectations for the movie are at an all-time high. A user wrote on KVN Productions’ latest Instagram post, “This movie is confirm blockbuster”. Another user wrote, “Rs 1000 crore confirm Thalapathy brand.” “One last time”, another Instagrammer noted.

According to Times of India, Vijay, who formed his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in February 2024, addressed his party members in Tamil Nadu on the occasion of his party’s first anniversary. There, the actor reportedly said that his 69th film, Jana Nayagan will be his final project after which he will quit acting.

Apart from Vijay, the film will also star Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol in important roles. It will also feature Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, among others.

Previously, Vijay was seen in the film GOAT: The Greatest of All Time. However, the film, despite being marketed as the second last film of the actor, failed to earn big at the box office. Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 400 crore, the film earned just Rs 457 crore worldwide.
