For those who are unaware, Jana Nayagan marks the last film of Thalapathy Vijay. The actor himself announced his retirement from cinema at the audio launch in Malaysia. The excitement around the film is on cloud nine. Slated to hit the big screens on January 9, 2026, the political action drama is expected to storm all the previous box office records.
Besides its original language, the movie will also be released in dubbed Telugu and Hindi audio on the same day. Unlike Leo and The Greatest of All Time, Jana Nayagan will be released in Hindi in multiplex chains too.
However, the biggest challenge for Jana Nayagan will be Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, which is also releasing on the same day, coinciding with Pongal/Sankranthi 2026. Directed by H. Vinoth, the mass action drama with a political background is rumoured to be a remake of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari; however, there is no official confirmation on the same. The movie also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, Narain, and several others in pivotal roles.
