As per reports, Vijay’s fee for Jana Nayagan was locked at ₹275 crore. Unlike other actors who often take a part of the film’s profits, Vijay chose a different route — a full upfront payment. This shows the makers’ strong trust in his star power. For comparison, reports say he was paid around ₹200 crore for his previous film, The G.O.A.T.
Fans are curious whether Jana Nayagan will truly be his last film. At a recent event, his co-star Mamitha Baiju gave an interesting answer. She said that Vijay’s future in cinema may depend on the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections. So while this movie is being treated like a farewell, things might still change based on what happens in politics.
Story, Cast & First Look Reveal
Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, is a political action drama with high emotional stakes. A short glimpse from the film was recently released, titled “Jana Nayagan’s First Roar.” It showed Vijay in a police uniform walking through a street filled with chaos. His look and walk in the teaser had fans buzzing with excitement. His character name is rumored to be Thalapathy Vetri Kondan (TVK), which also happens to match the name of his new political party.
The film brings together a powerful cast: Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani. There are also strong rumors that Shruti Haasan might be playing a major role, though this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Music: Anirudh and One Last Song
Music for Jana Nayagan is handled by the popular composer Anirudh Ravichander, who has worked with Vijay in many successful films before. What makes this film extra emotional for fans is the report that Vijay has sung a special track titled “One Last Song.” This could be his final song as an actor in Tamil cinema — a musical farewell to the industry and to his fans.
Fans are already calling this his cinematic swan song, making it one of the most emotional projects in his career. Whether it truly is his last film or not, Jana Nayagan is shaping up to be unforgettable.
