After a long wait, the makers of Vijay's much-anticipated upcoming film Jana Nayagan shared that the film's first glimpse will be released on the occasion of the actor-politician's birthday on June 22 at 12 am. KVN Productions, which is backing the film described the glimpse as the 'first roar' and wrote, "A lion is always a lion & his first roar is incoming."

As the excitement remains high among fans and audiences as more updates on the film are awaited on his birthday, it has also been rumoured that Vijay will be singing a special farewell song titled, 'One Last Song' which will be packed with nostalgic moments including film references and dialogues from his career. However, an official announcement regarding the same is yet to be announced by the makers.

Directed by H Vinoth in his first collaboration with Vijay, Jana Nayagan is said to be a political action film which will be his final film project before his full-fledged entry into politics. It went on floors in October 2024, and no other plot details have been revealed by the makers. Reportedly, Vijay has also completed shooting his portions for the film.

The film reunites Vijay with Prakash Raj after Varisu, Pooja Hegde after Beast, and Gautham Vasudev Menon after Leo. The film also reportedly stars actor Revathy as Vijay's mother. Revathi's previous collaboration with Vijay was in the 2002 film Thamizhan, where she played his sister.

On the technical front, Jana Nayagan features music composed by Anirudh, cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan, editing by Pradeep E Ragav, action choreography by Anl Arasu, art direction by Selva Kumar, and costumes designed by Pallavi Singh.
