The trailer of the political thriller Jana Nayagan, by Thalapathy Vijay, was issued on December 31, 2025 and the fans in Tamil Nadu and other sections of the state became mad. The 3-minute prelude to SDAT ground in Chennai had 50,000 shrieking followers in attendance, and Vijay makes his first bold step into the world of realpolitik film before his 2026 Assembly polls plunge. The magnum opus directed by H Vinoth is a pure out-and-out corruption piece where Vijay is an ardent activist-turned-leader.

His character, Arjun Nayagan, is screaming back; “People have power not puppets! Jana Nayagan! Jana Nayagan! Jana Nayagan! Graphics is a challenge of fighting with dirty ministers, high-tech games of surveillance, and demonstrators crowds which remind TN demonstrations in reality. The romance is burning with Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol is a threat as a CM opponent.
