Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on December 26, 2025, to a rousing welcome from thousands of fans ahead of the grand audio launch of his highly anticipated film, Jana Nayagan. The audio launch is scheduled for December 27 at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. The stadium can host close to 85,000 people. Videos and photos circulating on social media captured the frenzy as Vijay greeted fans with folded hands, a gesture that has gone viral.
The actor was seen dressed in a denim and blue shirt accompanied by a matching jacket. Vijay was accompanied by his mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar. Composer Anirudh Ravichander, director H. Vinoth, and actress Pooja Hegde also joined Vijay for the event. Director Nelson Dilipkumar, filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, and actor-choreographer Prabhu Deva are also expected to attend.
Vijay's arrival was marked by a traditional Malaysian welcome, including a Silat performance, a traditional martial art, and cultural dances. Vijay was seen holding a Bluetooth speaker for the performers as they danced, a gesture that quickly won hearts. Fans waved banners and posters, cheering loudly as Vijay made his way through the airport and to his hotel. Social media has been flooded with images and videos of the enthusiastic reception.
Jana Nayagan, which will also be released in Hindi as Jan Neta, is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Pongal festival. The film is directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions. The movie has a star-studded cast, including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, and others.
The audio launch, named 'Thalapathy Thiruvizha', is expected to be a grand musical celebration. The event will feature performances from prominent singers and is expected to run for nearly five hours. The audio rights for the film were sold to T-Series for a record ₹35 crore, marking the highest for a Tamil film.
This audio launch holds special significance as it is widely believed to be Vijay's final film before he transitions to a full-time career in politics with his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Fans are eager to witness what may be one of his final performances on stage before his political journey begins.
