Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay’s final film before he steps down from acting, Jana Nayagan, is all set to hit the screens this Pongal. Naturally, after the actor announced his retirement after a 33-year-long and illustrious career, the excitement among fans for his last film is at an all-time high. However, the movie is set for an intense box office clash with Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi, releasing around the same time, which has seemingly not gone well with the fans.

Several videos of fans tearing down Parasakthi posters and throwing them on the ground have surfaced, showing the devotion of Vijay’s fans. Meanwhile, it has even sparked conversations on social media. An X user shared the video and questioned why Vijay’s fans couldn’t “tolerate even a single film clash" with his releases.

Videos show them with their flashlights on as they chant slogans of Viajy's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), even before the event has begun.

Several fans have even posted the videos on social media, challenging Sivakarthikeyan’s fans that they will take over Pongal.

H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan and Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi are releasing a day apart. While Jana Nayagan releases on January 9, Parasakthi is set for a January 10 release on the occasion of Pongal. Notably, Vijay’s final film was initially expected to be released during Diwali 2025, while Sivakarthikeyan’s film was scheduled to hit screens on January 14.
