Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' released on July 23, 2026, his first after entering politics full-time.
The film introduces Vijay as 'Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu - CM Vijay' in the title card, triggering massive fan celebrations.
Release was delayed from January 9 due to certification issues that led to legal battles in Madras High Court and Supreme Court.
The production suffered a full-copy online leak months before release.
Directed by H. Vinoth, the film features Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, and music by Anirudh Ravichander.
