Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, is eyeing a strategic release on June 25, 2026, aligning with the actor's birthday on June 22 and an extended holiday weekend. The film was originally scheduled to release on January 9 but has been stuck due to ongoing issues with the Central Board of Film Certification.
The proposed release strategy capitalizes on a four-day holiday window, starting with a Thursday release. Vijay's birthday celebrations and the Muharram public holiday on June 26 will likely boost the film's prospects with special screenings and early morning shows. The production house plans to convert the celebratory mood into box office momentum.
Jana Nayagan will potentially be released after the 2026 Tamil Nadu State Assembly Elections, likely taking place in April. By choosing a late June date, producers are avoiding political volatility and model code of conduct restrictions that can affect theatrical business during election cycles.
Directed by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, the film has been made on a grand scale with music by Anirudh Ravichander. The movie carries huge emotional and commercial stakes as it will be Vijay's last film before he fully transitions into politics. The film also stars Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol.
