The audio launch of Vijay’s last film Jana Nayakan took place on 27 December at the National Stadium Bukit Jalil, Malaysia. Jan Nayakan being Vijay’s last film before entering politics, the audio launch became a landmark celebration of his illustrious three decade long journey in cinema. Titled “Thalapathy Thiruvizha”, the grand event paid tribute to Vijay’s legacy as thousands of fans and industry colleagues gathered to honor the superstar’s contribution to Indian cinema. After addressing the huge crowd gathered for him, an emotional Thalapathy Vijay said at the event, “I don’t know whether it should be said or not, but my last film is a bit painful, isn’t it? What do you want me to do?”
Recalling his early days as an assistant director, filmmaker Atlee highlighted Vijay’s humility. He said, “When I was an AD on my last day, he called me and said, you are really good and working hard, if you have any story let me know. At that time, he had completed 50 films. No big star can do this, completing so many films. He is a good person.”
Atlee concluded with a heartfelt analogy that touched the audience. He said, “We will see 3 types of people in life. There will be leaves, which will come and go away when their purpose is fulfilled. There will be branches, but they will blow away in the storm. But, the people with you are like the roots, Vijay Na. They will never leave you.”
The evening featured a nostalgic celebration of Vijay’s most popular songs, seamlessly blended with live performances of Jan Nayakan’s newly released tracks. Composer Anirudh Ravichander led a powerful live orchestra that added to the ambiance. Singers including Vijay Yesudas, Anuradha Sriram, Haricharan, Krish, SP Charan, Tipu, Shweta Mohan, Yogi B, Andrea Jeremiah and Sanjana Diwakar Kalmanje performed at the event. Many prominent filmmakers and actors like Lokesh Kanagaraj, Nelson Dilipkumar, Atlee, Nassar and Srinath were also present along with the cast of the film.
The audio launch marked a major milestone before the film’s theatrical release. Directed by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, Jan Nayakan stars a high-profile ensemble cast including Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamita Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narayan and Priyamani.
