This is the result of hard work, discipline, and unwavering dedication,
a man who gave his art honestly and made millions smile for more than three decades.
We didn’t just watch him.
We grew with him.
We lived with him.
We loved him.
Our Anna.
Our Man.
Our Thalapathy Vijay.
This is not a crowd gathered for an event.
This is a generation standing together,
for love, loyalty, and a bond built over decades.
Idhu thani oru manithanin padai.
Anna, we will always love you.
Seeing you on the big screen itself was a celebration, a happiness, a festival-
and you gave us that joy, year after year, without fail.
We will miss you deeply.
The FDFS madness,
the success meets,
the audio launches,
your kutty stories,
your songs, dance,
those humorous moments
and those cute expressions
Some stars shine.
But some become a part of our lives.
You are one of them.
Forever.
Some heroes create records.
But very few create memories.
You did both.
And more.
No matter where life takes you,
you will always live in our hearts,
in our memories,
in every cheer inside a theatre.
Forever our Thalapathy.
Forever our Anna.
#onelasttime"

As expected, Vijay shared life lessons aka 'Kutty Story' at the event. He said, "If you want to succeed in life, you may not always need friends but you do need a strong enemy. Only when there is a strong enemy do you become stronger."
Later, he said, "A small help or a small good deed will help you in the future. Don’t trouble or hurt anyone."
Heaping praise on Prakash Raj, Vijay says, Usually, the best chemistry is between the hero and heroine. But for me, it has always been with Prakash Raj sir, right from the Ghilli days. Thank you, Prakash Raj sir."
Heaping praise on Jana Nayagan director H Vinoth, Vijay says, "H Vinoth is a highly socially responsible filmmaker. We were meant to collaborate earlier and had discussions back then. It’s great that we’ve finally come together now."
Heaping praise on Jana Nayagan music director Anirudh Ravichander, Vijay says, "I am giving Anirudh a new title 'MDS'.
Can you guess what it stands for? Musical Departmental Store. He’s like a store you walk into and never run out of choices with unlimited songs and BGMs waiting inside."
Sharing why he is stepping away from cinema, Vijay says, "For me, one thing matters. People come and stand in theatres for me. For that reason, I’m ready to stand for them for the next 30–33 years. For these Vijay fans, I’m stepping away from cinema."
He added, "I’ve faced every kind of criticism right from day one, the same old story. But my fans have stood by me from the very beginning, supporting me relentlessly for 33 years. That’s why, for the fans who stood for me, I will stand for them. This Vijay will repay his debt of gratitude."
Acknowledging the huge turnout at the event, Vijay says after Sri Lanka, Malaysia has one of the largest Tamil populations in the world. He adds, "We can recall many Tamil films shot in Malaysia. Even Billa, starring our friend Ajith, was filmed here. My films Kaavalan and Kuruvi were also shot here. I would like to thank the Malaysian government as well for their support in helping make this event possible."
'Thalapathy' Vijay has taken to the stage to deliver his speech and bring the curtain down on the night.
At the event, director H Vinoth refuted reports that Jana Nayagan is a remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna's Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari. He said, "Some people say this is a remake, others call it a partial remake, and a few even think they can compete with us and win. Let me be clear. This is a 100% Thalapathy film, and it’s going to be a complete commercial treat in theatres."
At the event, Pooja Hegde expressed her disappointment at Jana Nayagan being Vijay's last film. She said, "Vijay sir, I had so much fun working with you in Beast. People keep asking me when 'Arabic Kuthu' Part 2 is coming. There’s so much to learn from you. You’re the most professional star I’ve worked with. Such a huge star, yet so humble. I want to be like you. I’m really sad this is your last film."
At the event, Jana Nayagan music director Anirudh Ravichander reflected on his early career, recalling that he was just 21 when Vijay placed his trust in him with Kaththi, then one of the biggest projects in Tamil cinema. He expressed deep gratitude for that faith and noted that all their collaborations, including Kaththi, Master, Beast, and Leo, have featured hit music, which he credited entirely to the affection and bond they share.
At the event, Jana Nayagan music director Anirudh Ravichander performed an unreleased song from the film titled “Raavana Mavan Da.”

Mamitha Baiju got emotional at the audio launch of Jana Nayagan. She said, "Standing beside him feels like a surreal moment for me. My brother is a Thalapathy fan, and we often use Vijay sir’s movie references in our family. I’m really going to miss you, sir."
Vijay's father and filmmaker SA Chandrasekhar recalls his son's journey in showbiz. He said, "As a father, what greater pride could I have than this? On December 4, 1992, Naalaiya Theerpu was released. Even then, it felt like a verdict written that in December 2025, the son would stand tall."
At the audio launch of Jana Nayagan, veteran actor Nasser asked Vijay to reconsider his decision to quit films for full time politics. He said, “Pokkiri is one of my best films. You had a dialogue: “Oru Thadava Mudivu Pannita.” I request you to please change your decision. We all need you please. Please act again. No one will criticise you. Even if someone criticises you, you’ll handle it with grace. You are critic proof”
At the audio launch of Jana Nayagan, veteran actor Nasser spoke about Vijay’s generosity, highlighting his contributions to the development of the Nadigar Sangam. He said, "You are the one who made my son—who was bedridden—get up and walk again. For that, I will remain indebted to you for my entire life. When we asked for a one-crore loan to build the Nadigar Sangam, he gave it to us.”
Actor Naren said, “Since Chithiram Pesuthadi, there’s always been this question on me acting with Tthalapathy Vijay. Finally it has happened. I have a very interesting sequence in the film. I will never forget the memories with him on set”
He added, "Vijay sir is dance master’s dream, producer’s dream, director’s dream, fans' dream. He is dream for everyone. Now he has a dream and may all his dreams come true”
Atlee said, "In life, we meet three kinds of people. Some are like leaves. They come and go once their purpose is over. Some are like branches. They may stay for a while but fall away during a storm. But the people who stand by you are like roots, Vijay na. They will never leave you." After completing his speech, Atlee walked up to Vijay and hugged him.
Atlee called Vijay 'genuinely nice man' and said, "Ennoda Anna. Ennoda Thalapathy. When I was an AD, on my last day, he called me and told me, You are working really well and hard. If you have a story, let me know. At that time, he had already completed 50 films. No big star who has reached that milestone would usually do something like this. He is a genuinely nice man."
Director Nelson Dilipkumar spoke about his friendship with Vijay. He said, "When @Jagadishbliss called me for the launch, the first thing I asked was whether they would arrange the tickets or if I should do it myself. The reason is, I made a film called #beast, and it received mixed reviews. Even after that, he kept calling me every day to check on me. I once asked him if he was upset with me. He replied, ‘Is a film what decides my friendship with you?’ I share a very personal bond with him. Thalapathy Vijay is like a brother to me."
Lokesh Kanagaraj said, "I know everyone from the Jana Nayagan team, and I’ve worked with all of them. I wish the film to become a blockbuster, and I also wish the very best for all your aspirations, Vijay."
