Jana Nayagan, the much-anticipated farewell film of Thalapathy Vijay, is already making waves months ahead of its theatrical release. While the film is slated for a grand worldwide release on January 9th, 2026, the latest buzz has added to the excitement – the first single from the film is expected to drop this Diwali.
What makes this track even more special for fans is the rumor that the song will be an intro number crooned by Thalapathy Vijay himself. If confirmed, this would mark yet another electrifying addition to Vijay’s rare yet memorable discography as a playback singer.
The music for Jana Nayagan is composed by Rockstar Anirudh, who shares a proven track record with Vijay. The duo has previously delivered chartbusters like Selfie Pulla, Kutty Story, and Naa Ready, each turning into anthems among fans. Expectations are sky-high for their latest collaboration.
Meanwhile, the film’s pre-release business is setting new benchmarks. Popular OTT platform Z5 is reportedly in talks to bag the digital streaming rights of Jana Nayagan for a record deal, although an official confirmation is still awaited. On the theatrical side, Romeo Pictures Raahul is said to have acquired the Tamil Nadu distribution rights for an unprecedented sum, making it the biggest-ever deal for a Tamil film in the region.
Directed by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, Jana Nayagan is being positioned as a fitting farewell for Thalapathy Vijay, who is reportedly making his exit from cinema to pursue full-time politics. The film is eyeing a strategic Pongal release window, capitalizing on the 10-day holiday period, and is expected to open to packed houses.
With the first single likely to release this Diwali, fans have yet another reason to celebrate – not just the festival of lights, but also the dawn of Jana Nayagan mania.
