**Thalapathy Vijay’s Upcoming Tamil Film Jana Nayagan Generates Buzz Ahead of Release**
Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming Tamil film *Jana Nayagan* is currently the talk of the town. This political action thriller is directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions. The film is set to hit screens worldwide on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Pongal festival.
### Certification and Advance Booking Updates
In the lead-up to the release, several important details about *Jana Nayagan*—including its certification, runtime, and First Day First Show (FDFS)—have emerged, stirring curiosity among fans.
There had been reports that advance booking in Tamil Nadu was delayed due to the film not yet receiving certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Consequently, ticket sales in the state could not begin. However, according to industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai, the censoring process is now nearly complete.
The total runtime of *Jana Nayagan* is 3 hours, 3 minutes, and 43 seconds. Once the censor certificate is officially granted, advance booking in Tamil Nadu will commence as well.
### Film Length and Structure
Film analyst Christopher Kanagaraj has shared insights into the film’s length, explaining it in two parts. The first half of the movie runs approximately 1 hour and 28 minutes, while the second half lasts about 1 hour and 35 minutes. This indicates that *Jana Nayagan* is a long, serious story crafted to present a powerful political drama. The makers are dedicated to delivering the film on a grand scale to truly captivate the audience.
### Advance Booking Status and FDFS Details
Advance booking has already started in several regions outside Tamil Nadu, including Karnataka, Kerala, and Mumbai. The film is witnessing tremendous demand in overseas markets like the United States, where premiere shows are scheduled for January 8—one day ahead of the Indian release.
Regarding First Day First Shows in India, the earliest screening will take place at 4:00 AM in Mumbai, followed by shows starting at 6:05 AM in Bengaluru and Kochi.
### Star Cast and Film Significance
*Jana Nayagan* boasts a strong star cast, featuring Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamita Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, and Priyamani alongside Vijay.
Notably, *Jana Nayagan* is speculated to be Vijay’s last film before he makes a full-time entry into politics, adding to the film’s anticipation and significance among fans.
