Jana Nayagan Tamil Nadu Rights Smash Records Ahead of Vijay’s Final Film

Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming movie Jana Nayagan is creating massive buzz even before its release. Vijay has confirmed that this film will be his last before he shifts his full focus to politics, and the movie is already making headlines with its record-breaking deals. Scheduled to hit theaters during Pongal on January 9, 2026, this political-action entertainer features direction by H. Vinoth in his first collaboration with the superstar.

Romeo Pictures acquired the film’s Tamil Nadu theatrical rights for a record-setting Rs 90 crore, the highest ever price paid for any Vijay film in the state.

Jana Nayagan Rights Deals Break Industry Records

The film’s business already stands among the biggest in Tamil cinema history. The team behind Jana Nayagan has earned a staggering Rs 290 crore from major distribution and streaming deals so far:

Tamil Nadu Theatrical Rights Rs 90 crore (Romeo Pictures)

Overseas Rights Rs 78 crore (Phars Films, Boleyn Cinemas, 4 Seasons Creation)

Digital Rights Rs 121 crore (Amazon Prime Video for Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada)

Sun TV secured the satellite rights, adding to the film’s revenue. The producers expect to lock more deals in Kerala, Karnataka, the Telugu states, and North India. With these additions, Jana Nayagan looks set to cross ₹400 crore in total business — a massive achievement for any Tamil film. Tamil cinema usually depends heavily on the local box office, so these numbers show the enormous anticipation for Vijay’s final outing.

High Risk, Huge Expectations

To break even in Tamil Nadu alone, Jana Nayagan must gross at least ₹200 crore. Vijay’s previous films Leo and The GOAT both surpassed this number. Trade analysts believe Jana Nayagan can do the same if audiences respond positively.

Vijay’s decision to retire from films and dedicate himself to his political party TVK has added emotional weight to the film’s release. Fans across Tamil Nadu feel a strong connection to this final performance. This sentiment, combined with Vijay’s star power, should drive huge footfalls in cinemas.

While Tamil films sometimes struggle to gain traction outside their home territory, Jana Nayagan has the potential to overcome those barriers with solid box office numbers expected from Kerala, Karnataka, and overseas markets. Success in these regions could play a crucial role in helping the film reach its impressive revenue goals.

Star Cast Powers the Buzz

Produced by KVN Productions, Jana Nayagan reportedly adapts the Telugu hit Bhagavanth Kesari. The film features a stellar ensemble including Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar.

With a powerful cast, a massive pre-release business, and the emotional pull of Vijay’s final bow in cinema, Jana Nayagan stands ready to become a landmark in Tamil cinema — both in terms of box office records and cultural impact.
