The highly anticipated final film from Tamil superstar Vijay, Jana Nayagan, has started its box office campaign with an amazing performance weeks before it hits theatres. The movie is set to come out around the world on January 9, 2026, and it has already broken records for advance ticket sales, especially in the UK.
Industry reports say that Jana Nayagan has sold more tickets in the UK than Vijay's last big hit, Leo, before it even came out. This is a big deal because Leo was so popular and made so much money at the box office. The early rush of bookings shows how much people are looking forward to Vijay's "last film." This is thought to have been a major factor in the sales momentum.
The film's advance ticket sales in the UK, which were recorded 20 days before it came out, show that people are going to see it early to get seats.
This is a trend that usually only happens with big holiday or highly-publicised releases. Jana Nayagan is already doing better than Leo's first numbers overseas. Trade experts are now closely watching to see if it can keep up this excitement and beat Leo's overall box office records when it comes out next year.
