In a heartwarming gesture of camaraderie, actor Ravi Mohan, also known as Jayam Ravi, has publicly praised Vijay ahead of the box office clash between their respective films, Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi. Both films are slated for release on January 9, 2026, setting the stage for a potentially intense Pongal movie showdown.

Ravi Mohan took to his X account to express his admiration for Vijay and his upcoming film. "The commander achieved victory! #JanaNayagan. @actorvijay Anna, you have already won for me. In everything," he wrote. He further added, "The trailer is super realistically You and I'm sure this movie is winning the hearts of many including me, your forever fan and brother".

This expression of support comes even as Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan, is generating significant buzz. The trailer of Parasakthi has even surpassed Jana Nayagan in views within the first 24 hours of release, making it the most viewed Tamil movie trailer on YouTube during that period.

Jana Nayagan marks Vijay's final film before he embarks on his political career. The film, directed by H. Vinoth, features an ensemble cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, and Narain. The trailer showcases Vijay in action, seeking revenge after being attacked, with Bobby Deol appearing as the main antagonist.

Meanwhile, Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara, is set in the late 1960s and revolves around the Hindi imposition resistance movement in Tamil Nadu. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Sreeleela, and Atharvaa Murali.

Sivakarthikeyan has also addressed the clash with Jana Nayagan, stating that he initially tried to avoid it out of respect for Vijay. He revealed that he had conveyed his concerns to the producer, who then communicated with Vijay. Vijay reportedly assured them that both films could release during Pongal and perform well. Sivakarthikeyan has urged fans to celebrate Vijay's film on January 9 and watch Parasakthi the following day.

The Pongal season promises to be an exciting time for Tamil cinema, with two highly anticipated films vying for audience attention. Despite the potential competition, the outpouring of support and mutual respect between the actors involved highlights the strong sense of community within the industry.
