A photo from the sets of Thalapathy Vijay's highly anticipated film Jana Nayagan has leaked online, showing the actor in a police uniform reminiscent of his Theri look. The film, directed by H. Vinoth, is set to hit the big screens on January 9, 2026, and marks Vijay's 69th project. Fans are eagerly waiting for the film's release, and the leaked photo has only added to the excitement.
The film is widely speculated to be Vijay's last before stepping into politics full-time. Despite the makers remaining tight-lipped about the film, reports suggest that Jana Nayagan has sold its post-theatrical streaming rights to Amazon Prime Video for a staggering Rs 121 crore. The film's Hindi version will follow a slightly different release plan, beginning to stream only after completing an eight-week theater run.
Jana Nayagan is a political action drama with an army backdrop, aligning with the tone seen in Vijay's recent films. Pooja Hegde plays the female lead, while Bobby Deol will appear as the main antagonist. The cast also includes Mamitha Baiju and Narain in pivotal roles. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music, marking his fifth collaboration with Vijay. The film's buzz is massive, and fans are eagerly waiting for its release.
The leak of the photo has sparked speculation that Jana Nayagan might be a remake of the Tollywood blockbuster Bhagavanth Kesari, starring Balakrishna. The police uniform in the leaked photo seems to confirm this rumor. Despite the leak, the anticipation for Jana Nayagan continues to build, and fans are looking forward to a grand send-off for Thalapathy Vijay before he embarks on his political journey.
