Festivals and superstar films are a match made in box-office heaven—and this Pongal, all eyes are on Jana Nayagan. Directed by story-driven filmmaker H. Vinoth and bankrolled by KVN Productions, this high-octane political thriller is already one of the most anticipated releases of 2026.

Add to that the fact that it marks Thalapathy Vijay’s last outing in cinema before stepping into full-time politics, and you have a cultural event, not just a movie release.
