Kuala lumpur: Popular South Indian actor-turned-politician Vijay arrived in Kuala Lumpur today ahead of the audio launch of his upcoming film Jana Nayagan, which is set to take place at the National Stadium Bukit Jalil tomorrow.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, event organiser Malik Streams Corporation reported that the 51-year-old actor landed at Subang Skypark around 4.30 pm (local time) after travelling from Chennai via a private jet. Vijay's arrival has sparked significant attention on social media, with footage of his journey and reception widely shared across various platforms.
The event organiser mentioned that Vijay was welcomed with a brief traditional dance performance at the airport, accompanied by the film's music director Anirudh Ravichander. Online footage showed Vijay acknowledging the performers, expressing gratitude for the warm reception, and interacting with them as he proceeded to his transport. In one viral clip, Vijay was seen holding a Bluetooth speaker for the performers and greeting them warmly.
Vijay has previously indicated plans to gradually reduce his acting commitments as he increases his involvement in Indian politics. Leading up to the audio launch event, updates featuring the film's production team in Malaysia have been shared online, including posts showcasing members of the creative team.
The audio launch is being described by organisers as a tribute-style entertainment programme, expected to draw a large crowd with the stadium's capacity of approximately 85,000 spectators. The programme will unfold in two segments, starting with Thalapathy Thiruvizha, a tribute concert featuring about 30 singers, followed by the official audio launch.
During the audio launch segment, Vijay and members of the cast and crew will deliver addresses. Several notable figures from the Tamil film industry, including directors Atlee and Nelson Dilipkumar, as well as actor-director Prabhu Deva, have also arrived in Malaysia for the event. The movie, produced by KVN Productions, is slated for release on January 9, 2026.
