The audio launch event for Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming and reportedly final cinematic venture, 'Jana Nayagan', was held with much fanfare in Malaysia on December 27. The event was marked by an emotional speech from the superstar, who confirmed that this film would be his last before he fully dedicates himself to a political career.
An Emotional Farewell to Cinema
Addressing a massive crowd of fans and well-wishers, Vijay opened up about the pain of leaving the film industry. He was quoted saying, "I don't know whether to say it or not, but my last film is a little painful, right? What do you want me to do?" This heartfelt admission highlighted the significance of 'Jana Nayagan' as the culmination of his celebrated acting journey.
Launch of the Heartwarming Track 'Chella Magale'
A key highlight of the evening was the launch of the film's third single, titled 'Chella Magale'. The song is composed by the prolific Anirudh Ravichander, whom Vijay affectionately referred to as "MDS—Musical Departmental Store." The superstar himself has lent his voice for this track, with lyrics penned by Vivek. The accompanying music video beautifully portrays the tender bond between a father and his daughter.
Star-Studded Event and Major Release Details
The audio launch was attended by a galaxy of Tamil cinema celebrities who have previously collaborated with Vijay. The notable attendees included directors Lokesh Kanagaraj, Nelson Dilipkumar, and Atlee, alongside actors like Nasser and Srinath. The film's extensive cast includes Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani, among others.
Directed by H. Vinoth, 'Jana Nayagan' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on January 9, 2026. In a notable box office clash, the film will compete directly with Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab' in the Telugu-speaking states on the same day.
This event not only served as a promotional platform for the film but also as an official and emotional curtain call for one of Indian cinema's most beloved stars as he prepares to transition into the political arena.
