Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan has signalled its arrival on the global stage with an emphatic statement. The film’s UK pre-sales have opened to a flying record start, clocking an extraordinary 12,700+ tickets sold within the first 24 hours, underlining the superstar’s unparalleled pull beyond Indian shores.

The numbers speak louder than hype. Even before release, Jana Nayagan has ignited a wave of anticipation across international markets, with the United Kingdom emerging as a key territory where Vijay’s fan base has mobilised in full force. The rapid sell-out pace across multiple locations reflects not just excitement for a new film, but the emotional investment audiences have in what is widely expected to be the actor’s swan song.
Industry observers note that such a strong opening for pre-sales places Jana Nayagan among the fastest-moving Tamil film bookings in the UK, reaffirming Thalapathy Vijay’s status as a global box-office force. The surge also mirrors the growing buzz around the film’s music by Anirudh Ravichander, visuals, and larger-than-life positioning, all of which have steadily fuelled momentum in the run-up to release.
As pre-sales continue to gain traction across other international territories, the UK numbers stand as an early benchmark of what could be a historic theatrical run. If the opening 24 hours are any indication, Jana Nayagan is heading for a massive opening that could shatter records on a global scale.
Produced by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions, Jana Nayagan is gearing up for a global release on January 9, 2026, just in time for Pongal. The film is especially significant as it marks the grand finale in Thalapathy Vijay’s illustrious film career.
