Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is all set to hit the screens on January 9, 2026 on the occasion of Pongal. The political action movie Jana Nayagan, which stars Thalapathy Vijay, would have a major opening in theaters. People have already talked a lot about the movie, not just because of Vijay's role but also because there might be surprise cameos. H. Vinoth directed it.

Are Lokesh, Nelson, and Atlee going to be there?
Valai Pechu states that the movie will include cameos by legendary directors Lokesh Kanagaraj, Nelson Dilipkumar, and Atlee, all of whom have worked with Vijay on great hits before. It's fascinating that many are saying that the three of them will play journalists in the movie. This makes the appearances a funny nod to their work with the famous person.

There are also suggestions that music composer Anirudh Ravichander would be in a special song sequence, which makes things even more exciting. After Kaththi, Master, Beast, and Leo, this is the fifth movie that he and Vijay have collaborated on together.
