For over three decades, Superstar Rajinikanth ruled Tamil cinema as an undisputed number one. His stardom extended beyond Tamil Nadu, with a fan following and market reach that seemed impossible for anyone else to match. For a long time, Rajinikanth was considered the only name at the top. But around a decade ago, as Rajinikanth faced a string of flops, Vijay’s success with blockbusters like Thupakki, Kaththi and Mersal took him to an unexpected new level.
Vijay’s films began to surpass even Rajinikanth’s in business and box office collections, cementing his place as Tamil cinema’s top star. However, just when his career had reached its peak, Vijay decided to step away from films and enter politics. His upcoming film Jana Nayagan, believed to be inspired by Bhagavanth Kesari, is expected to be his final movie before his political journey begins.
Fans and industry insiders believe Vijay will deliver one last blockbuster before bidding farewell to the film industry. While there is always a chance he might return depending on his political future, for now, Jananayagan stands as his farewell film. Reports suggest that the ending of the movie is being planned as an emotional and memorable sendoff.
Initially, the climax was designed to be deeply emotional, but following Vijay’s input, the makers made a few creative changes. The final moments will now celebrate Vijay’s cinematic journey and his bond with the industry that made him a legend.
It is said that directors who share a close connection with Vijay, including Atlee, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Nelson, will make cameo appearances in this grand farewell sequence. Vijay will be shown passing on a symbolic baton to them, marking the transition to a new generation of filmmakers and stars.
The recently released song Thalapathy Kacheri will reportedly play towards the end, featuring Vijay’s energetic one-minute dance sequence to thrill his fans. The film will conclude with a montage highlighting iconic moments from his filmography, followed by Vijay bowing out in his signature style as a final salute to his admirers.
