Vijay's final film before his full-time stint in politics, Jana Nayagan, is currently in the post-production stage, gearing up to hit theatres for Pongal 2026. As the excitement is sky-high for the H Vinoth directorial, the latest reports and speculations on the internet have revealed that Vijay will fight humanoids in the climax of the film.
Buzz on the internet suggests that Jana Nayagan will culminate in a grand climax sequence, with Thalapathy Vijay taking on a swarm of humanoids. The high-octane finale is said to delve into the theme of humans versus AI.
