Bobby Deol on Jana Nayagan: Thalapathy Vijay’s farewell film is a cinematic event
Bobby Deol praises Vijay’s unmatched stardom, revealing the challenges of shooting Jana Nayagan due to massive fan crowds and calling it a monumental project.
With Thalapathy Vijay preparing to bid adieu to cinema and fully step into the political arena, all eyes are on his final on-screen outing, Jana Nayagan. Currently in post-production, the film is gearing up for a grand Pongal release (Jan 9th, 2026) and the buzz surrounding it is nothing short of electric.
Bobby Deol, who plays a pivotal role in the film, recently spoke about his experience working alongside Vijay. In a candid conversation with film journalist Faridoon Shahryar, Bobby offered insight into what it was like to be part of what is expected to be one of the biggest releases in Vijay’s career.
Sharing his thoughts, Bobby remarked on the significance of the project. “This is a landmark film for Vijay, and there’s immense excitement because it might be his final film before he transitions fully into politics,” he said. “Naturally, that makes it a major release to look forward to.”
Reflecting on the shooting experience, Bobby highlighted Vijay’s unparalleled fan base and the logistical challenges it brought. “When I asked about the filming locations, I was told we had to shoot in a studio. Taking the production to the streets wasn’t possible – the crowds would be unmanageable,” he explained. “That’s when I truly understood the scale of his stardom.”
Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan boasts a star-studded ensemble. Alongside Vijay and Bobby Deol, the film features performances from Pooja Hegde, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Narain, Teejay Arunasalam, and Sunil, promising a cinematic spectacle.
As Vijay prepares for a new chapter in his public life, Jana Nayagan is poised to be a fitting curtain call to a career that has spanned decades and touched millions. Fans will undoubtedly flock to theaters this Pongal, not just to watch a film, but to witness the legacy of a star.
Following Diwali, fans can expect a steady stream of updates on Jana Nayagan, setting the stage for an exciting few months leading up to its release. The much anticipated audio launch is reportedly scheduled for December 27th in Malaysia – a grand international event that underscores Thalapathy Vijay’s immense global admirers.
