Thalapathy Vijay
As the lights at Bukit Jalil Stadium burned brighter with anticipation, Malaysia witnessed a moment fans had been waiting for - Thalapathy Vijay's grand arrival at the Jana Nayagan audio launch. What followed was nothing short of a cinematic spectacle, with Vijay stepping onto the stage amid thunderous cheers, instantly setting the tone for a night steeped in celebration, music, and legacy.
Making a striking entry, Vijay appeared in a sharp blue suit paired with a black shirt, a look that was both understated and commanding. The moment he acknowledged the crowd with a raised hand, the stadium erupted into chants, cheers, and unbridled fan frenzy taking over Bukit Jalil within seconds.
At the event, he also had the crowd cheering for him as he danced to the song Thalapathy Kacheri from the film.
As expected, Vijay shared life lessons aka ‘Kutty Story' at the event. He said, "If you want to succeed in life, you may not always need friends but you do need a strong enemy. Only when there is a strong enemy do you become stronger."
Later, he said, "A small help or a small good deed will help you in the future. Don't trouble or hurt anyone."
Earlier in the evening, the team of Jana Nayagan had already assembled at the venue, including producer Venkat K. Narayana, co-producer Lohith Nk, director H. Vinoth, and cast members Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, Priyamani, Nassar, and Sunil, setting the stage for a grand celebration. Adding to the scale of the night, acclaimed filmmakers Atlee, Nelson, and Lokesh Kanagaraj are also present. But Vijay's arrival elevated the atmosphere to an entirely different level, transforming the event into a true spectacle.
Fans from across Malaysia and beyond packed the stadium, turning the audio launch into a full-scale festival rather than a conventional film event. With emotions running high and the music ready to take over, the Jan Neta audio launch emerged as a powerful celebration of cinema, fandom, and the enduring phenomenon that is Thalapathy Vijay.
Adding another milestone to the night, the Jana Nayagan audio launch officially entered the Malaysian Book of Records for hosting an audio launch in Malaysia with the highest number of audience attendance, further underlining the unprecedented scale and historic significance of the event.
Produced by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions, Jana Nayagan also stars Bobby Deol and Gautam Vasudev Menon and is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on January 9, 2026, making it one of the most anticipated Pongal festive releases.
