The Jana Nayagan trailer has done what very few films manage to achieve — it has rewritten Tamil cinema’s trailer-view records within just 24 hours. Starring Thalapathy Vijay in what is being widely billed as his final full-fledged film before entering active politics, the trailer launch has turned into a historic moment for South Indian cinema.
Within a single day of release, the Jana Nayagan trailer clocked over 52.7 million views on YouTube across its Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi versions, while Instagram added another 31 million views, taking the combined total past 83 million views in 24 hours. With this staggering number, the film has officially surpassed Vijay’s previous blockbuster Leo, setting a new benchmark for trailer launches.
Jana Nayagan Trailer View Count Breaks All-Time Records
The Jana Nayagan trailer was released simultaneously in Tamil (Jana Nayagan), Telugu (Jana Nayakudu), and Hindi (Jan Neta) on January 3, 2026. The multilingual release strategy ensured massive nationwide reach, and fans responded instantly.
According to early tracking data, the trailer not only beat Leo’s 24-hour record, but also emerged as one of the most-viewed Indian film trailers ever in its opening day. The response has been especially explosive in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, overseas markets, and Hindi-speaking regions — an indicator of Vijay’s pan-India pull.
Vijay as a Fierce IPS Officer Wins the Internet
One of the biggest reasons behind the trailer’s viral success is Vijay’s powerful on-screen transformation. In Jana Nayagan, he plays a no-nonsense IPS officer fighting systemic corruption, delivering hard-hitting dialogues and intense action sequences that instantly struck a chord with audiences.
Fans across social media platforms have praised Vijay’s commanding screen presence, calling it a perfect blend of mass appeal and political symbolism. Many viewers are already calling the character one of Vijay’s most impactful roles in recent years.
Anirudh Ravichander’s BGM Adds Goosebumps Factor
Music director Anirudh Ravichander once again proves why the Vijay–Anirudh combo is considered gold. The background score featured in the trailer has been widely praised for amplifying the tension, drama, and emotional weight of the scenes.
The recently released song “Raavana Mavan Da” has further boosted the film’s hype. The high-energy track, packed with mass elevation moments, has gone viral across reels and short-video platforms, adding fuel to the already massive buzz surrounding the film.
Massive Advance Bookings & Strong Pre-Sales
Trade reports suggest that Jana Nayagan has already crossed ₹25 crore in worldwide pre-sales, even before full-fledged promotions kick in. The film’s Pongal 2026 release has turned it into one of the most anticipated festival releases in recent memory.

The event further strengthened the emotional connect between Vijay and his fanbase, reinforcing the perception that Jana Nayagan is more than just a film — it’s a movement.
Vijay’s Cinematic Farewell Before Politics

The combination of political themes, mass storytelling, and Vijay’s real-life transition has made Jana Nayagan one of the most discussed films on social media and search platforms.
