Jana Nayagan is the title of Tamil superstar Vijay’s upcoming film, the makers announced on Sunday (January 26) on the occasion of India’s 76th Republic Day. Directed by H Vinoth, the film marks Vijay’s last outing before he gets into full-time politics.
The first look features Vijay, in a sale-and-pepper look, taking a selfie from atop a van at a political campaign. The selfie instantly takes one back to his iconic selfie from the sets of Master in Neyveli in February 2020. As speculated before, the film seems to be a political drama.
Starring his Beast co-star Pooja Hegde as the female lead, Jana Nayagan features an ensemble star cast that includes veteran Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Narain, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Mamitha Baiju.
The film will have music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. This is Anirudh’s fifth collaboration with Vijay after Kaththi, Master, Beast, and Leo.
With Sathyan Sooriyan handling the cinematography, the film has Pradeep E Ragav as the editor, Analarasu as the stunt choreographer, and Selvakumar as the art director.
