Thalapathy Vijay has been in the news for his political endeavours as he gears up to contest his maiden polls next year. Amidst this, he is also working on his final film, Jana Nayagan. The makers confirmed today that the film will hit theatres on January 9, coinciding with the festive week of Pongal and Sankranti. It’s the first major festival of the year and usually sees South filmmakers eyeing the date. Apart from Jana Nayagan, Prabhas’s The RajaSaab will also release on the same day. While both films belong to different industries, both actors enjoy a massive fan base across the country.
