Atlee, Nelson, and Lokesh Kanagaraj to Join Vijay in Jana Nayagan!

A Grand Reunion of Vijay's Best Directors

Vijay has collaborated with all three directors in the past, delivering massive box office hits:

• Atlee directed Theri (2016), Mersal (2017), and Bigil (2019), all of which were blockbusters.
• Nelson Dilipkumar helmed Beast (2022), which showcased Vijay in a stylish action-packed role.
• Lokesh Kanagaraj directed Master (2021) and Leo (2023), both of which had phenomenal success and set new standards in Tamil cinema.

Now, these three powerhouses will share screen space with Vijay in Jana Nayagan, making this film a true celebration of his cinematic journey.

A Political Crime Thriller Like Never Before

Jana Nayagan is expected to be a hard-hitting political crime thriller, reflecting Vijay’s real-life transition into politics.

• The film features Bobby Deol in a powerful antagonist role, following his impactful performances in Animal and Kanguva.
• Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music, marking his fifth collaboration with Vijay.
• The cast also includes Pooja Hegde, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, Narain, and Mamitha Baiju.
• A special glimpse video is expected to be released on April 14, 2025 (Tamil New Year) to celebrate the film’s grandeur.

Why This Film is Extra Special for Vijay Fans?

With Jana Nayagan being Vijay’s last film, the inclusion of Atlee, Nelson, and Lokesh Kanagaraj is a fitting tribute to his legendary career. These directors have played key roles in shaping Vijay’s modern cinematic legacy, and their presence in his farewell film makes it even more nostalgic and emotional for fans.

The first look of Jana Nayagan, released on January 26, 2025 (Republic Day), has already created a buzz, with Vijay seen standing on a vehicle, taking a selfie with his fans. This political symbolism has further fueled speculations about his post-cinema plans.
