When I signed on to work with Thalapathy Vijay in what would turn out to be his final film before politics, I had no idea I was stepping into such a historic moment. Shooting those last few scenes with him was bittersweet—I was excited about the january release but also sad knowing it was Vijay sir’s swan song in cinema. He’s one of the most relaxed, humble, and coolest co-stars I’ve ever worked with. Honestly, there’s no pressure when you’re around him because he’s so comfortable in his superstar skin.

Now, just when fans thought the buzz couldn’t get bigger, comes the news that Jana Nayagan will feature cameo appearances from some of the most celebrated directors in our industry—Lokesh Kanagaraj, Atlee, and Nelson Dilipkumar! All three have given Vijay sir blockbuster moments on screen, and now they’re reuniting with him in a completely different way, playing journalists in the political drama. How’s that for a twist? I can already imagine the goosebumps fans will feel watching these cameos.

For me, it’s extra special because this film isn’t just about Vijay sir stepping into a new chapter, it’s also about celebrating his cinematic journey with the people who helped shape it. To be a part of that legacy is overwhelming. As an actor, you live for projects that go beyond just entertainment and become a piece of history—and Jana Nayagan is exactly that.

What excites me most is how audiences are already buzzing. Vijay sir has different dreams now, bigger ones, and I completely respect that. But with Jana Nayagan, he’s gifting fans a final cinematic moment they will never forget. And to think, I get to be part of that farewell—alongside a superstar and three powerhouse directors—makes this project the most unforgettable film of my career.
