In an interview with NDTV, Vinoth said, “I haven’t read most of the reviews. Moreover, we need to look at which is a paid review and which is a genuine one – in today’s age of PR culture, where there is organised influencer marketing that extends to reviews, we need to assess what is real.” He added, “If there is genuine feedback, I’ll definitely accept it. From day one, I knew Jana Nayagan was a complete commercial entertainer, and we have a reference movie (Bhagavanth Kesari) too. Any review should see how we have made Jana Nayagan in relation to that instead of judging it as a new film. In today’s world, it’s become difficult to find out which journalist is being honest, and I don’t want to mentally stress myself over that.” Besides Vijay, Jana Nayagan also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles. Live Updates Jul 29, 2026 04:40 PM IST Vijay's 2011 statement on turning fan club into political movement resurfaces As Jana Nayagan, Vijay's farewell film, continues to dominate headlines, an old interview from 2011 has resurfaced, offering a glimpse into the actor's long-held political ambitions. Speaking at the time, Vijay revealed that he wanted to transform his fan club, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, into a movement dedicated to public service before entering politics. He had said that politics was not an immediate priority but maintained that he would take the plunge at the appropriate time. More than a decade later, that vision has become a reality, with Vijay launching his political party and eventually assuming office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, making his 2011 remarks appear remarkably prophetic.

Jul 29, 2026 01:40 PM IST 'Only MGR, Rajinikanth and now Vijay': Tiruppur Subramaniam hails Jana Nayagan's box office run Film exhibitor Tiruppur Subramaniam has praised Thalapathy Vijay's star power, saying Jana Nayagan opened bigger than his previous film because of his elevation as Chief Minister Vijay. Speaking about the film's performance, as per a post shared by @MoviesSingapore, he shared, "#jananayagan had a greater opening than his previous film, and the reason is that he’s now #cmvijay. If the movie had released during Pongal, it would’ve been even different. Theatre owners were scared because the movie had leaked, but even then, it opened huge. It’s a very happy moment for us. #thalapathyvijay’s mass appeal is on another level. Every audience member is saddened that he’s leaving cinema with this movie, and many don’t even realise that he’s now The Honourable Chief Minister. From 40-50-year-old ladies to 25-year-old youngsters, everyone is enjoying the film. Only the #vijay brand could make this happen. This has happened only for #mgr and #rajinikanth, and now it’s happening for him. There’s a 20-year generational gap between the biggest stars. The movie will cross the ₹100Cr mark very easily. We can truly judge its performance only based on its long run. Due to the A certificate, family audiences can’t come, which is a big minus. Even after becoming CM, he’s giving a warm welcome to everyone in the cinema sector. When a No.1 star exits, it’s a huge loss for cinema. In Tamil Nadu, his films can easily gross ₹250Cr - ₹300Cr, with distributors earning a ₹100Cr share. Theatre owners altogether can earn an ₹80Cr - ₹90Cr share from his films."
