What’s the storyline?
Jana Nayagan is more than just another Vijay film. It is believed to be his final cinematic endeavor before transitioning fully into his political career. The storyline portrays Vijay as a “torchbearer of democracy,” reflecting his recent foray into politics, which includes the formation of his political party, Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK).
The first-look poster has become a symbol of Vijay’s enduring charm and mass appeal. It showcases him taking a selfie with fans in the background, exuding his trademark style in a denim outfit and sunglasses. This casual yet impactful image cements his connection with his audience, making it an iconic representation of Thalapathy’s journey.
