Putting an end to days of speculation, the makers of Jana Nayagan have officially clarified that Vijay has completed dubbing for the film and that all financial commitments to the star were settled as agreed. As per a report on The Times of India, the production house dismissed rumours suggesting that Vijay’s dubbing was delayed due to pending remuneration, calling the claims baseless.

With the clarification out, the post-production work on Jana Nayagan is now in full swing under director H Vinoth’s supervision. The film is scheduled to hit theatres worldwide on January 9, 2026, marking Vijay’s final appearance as an actor, a fact that has added an emotional weight to the already massive anticipation surrounding the project.

Meanwhile, the film’s pre-release business has begun on a historic high. The Tamil Nadu theatrical rights have reportedly been snapped up for an impressive Rs 105 crore, setting a new benchmark in the state. The strong box-office performance of Vijay’s recent films and the heightened curiosity around his farewell project have positioned Jana Nayagan as a commercially promising venture well before release.
