Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming film Jana Nayagan is generating immense buzz as the second single, "Oru Pere Varalaaru," was released on December 18, 2025, and has since gone viral. The song, composed by Anirudh Ravichander and sung by Vishal Mishra and Anirudh himself, is being hailed as a powerful anthem that resonates deeply with Vijay's fans.
"Oru Pere Varalaaru" translates to "A Name is History," and the lyrics, penned by Vivek, touch upon themes of legacy, identity, and the enduring impact of a leader. The song emphasizes Vijay's mass appeal and larger-than-life persona as a leader of the masses. Lines like "Even if destroyed, it will not be destroyed… He is the hero of the people," have particularly struck a chord with fans. Many interpret the song as a reflection of Vijay's political aspirations, especially with the use of his iconic catchphrase "En Nenjil Kudiyirukkum…" which he often uses at the start of his public addresses.
Fans have flooded social media with their reactions, praising Vijay's screen presence, dance moves, and Anirudh's music. The song has been lauded for its ability to blend political sentiments with emotional lyrics, capturing the core message of the film and Vijay's on-screen persona. Some fans have noted that the song evokes political sentiment through its music and visuals. One user commented, "#JanaNayagan: OruPereVaralaaru song Peaked here. The Lyrics, Lyrical video everything was an absolute blast connecting to ThalapathyVijay's Politics & Fans love towards him".
Anirudh's composition has also garnered significant attention, with many praising his consistency in delivering hit songs. One user commented, "Anirudh's consistency in delivering bangers is unbelievable. The second single from #Jananayagan is another catchy mass track, and choosing Vishal Mishra for the vocals was a great call".
The song also features Vijay's signature dance moves, choreographed by Sekhar, adding to the excitement. One fan expressed, "Bro Casually Cooks The Entire Screen Even At the Age Of 51 #OruPereVaralaaru #JanaNayagan". The visuals, combined with rhythmic chants in the background, elevate the track beyond a typical song, giving it the feel of a political anthem.
Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, is slated for release on January 9, 2026. The film also stars Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, and Pooja Hegde in pivotal roles. The first single from the film, "Thalapathy Kacheri," was released on November 8 and has already surpassed 75 million views on YouTube. The grand audio launch event for Jana Nayagan is scheduled to take place in Malaysia on December 27th.
Jana Nayagan is said to be Vijay's final film before he enters politics. The film is anticipated to be a political action thriller. Industry sources hint at a massive climax sequence pitting Vijay's character against multiple humanoids, exploring the theme of "Humans vs AI".
