Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan Could Arrive In Theatres Between February 12–26: Report

Jana Nayagan, featuring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead, was originally scheduled to arrive in theatres on January 9, 2026, aligning with the Pongal festive window. However, the film’s release was stalled

after it failed to secure CBFC certification in time, leaving fans waiting for clarity on its theatrical debut.

Now, fresh reports suggest that the long-delayed film could finally hit the big screen by the end of February, offering relief to audiences who have been eagerly awaiting Vijay’s much-talked-about project.

Is Jana Nayagan Finally Releasing by End of February?

According to a report by Lets Cinema, Jana Nayagan is expected to arrive in theatres sometime between mid-February and the end of the month. The report claims that overseas distributors have already been informed to begin preparations, with the tentative release window falling between February 12 and February 26, 2026.

The makers are reportedly confident of receiving CBFC clearance in the coming weeks and are expected to announce the official release date soon. As of now, however, there has been no formal confirmation from the production team.

More About Jana Nayagan

Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is being billed as Thalapathy Vijay’s final on-screen appearance before he transitions into a different phase of his career. The film centres on Vetri Kondan, a former police officer-turned-convict who adopts a young girl, Viji, and dedicates his life to raising her as a strong, independent woman.

Despite her fear of violence, Vetri encourages Viji to join the military, believing it to be the path to empowerment. As the story unfolds, a looming national threat emerges—one that could endanger the lives of millions. Caught between personal responsibility and a larger crisis, Vetri is forced to confront a corrupt system while settling a deeply personal vendetta.

Cast and Earlier Release Hurdles

Alongside Vijay, Jana Nayagan features an ensemble cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, Priyamani, Sunil, and several others in pivotal roles.

The film was initially planned as a Pongal release but ran into certification issues, which eventually led to legal intervention and further delays. With those hurdles now seemingly nearing resolution, Jana Nayagan appears to be gearing up for its long-awaited theatrical run.
