Actor Vijay will host his Jana Nayagan audio launch in Malaysia, drawing 85,000 fans to Bukit Jalil Stadium for a major South Asian entertainment event
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular South Indian actor-turned-politician Vijay will attend the audio launch of his upcoming movie ‘Jana Nayagan’ at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on December 27.
The event is expected to draw over 85,000 people, making it the largest gathering of Vijay’s fans outside India.
Organised by Malik Streams Corporation, the 10-hour ‘Thalapathy Thiruvizha’ celebration will feature 30 singers and live performances by music director Anirudh Ravichander.
The event will include appearances by top artistes from India and Malaysia and more than 40 songs from Vijay’s films.
Malik Streams Corporation CEO Datuk Abdul Malik Dasthigeer said Malaysia was chosen due to its status as the largest Vijay fan base outside India.
“Malaysia is ready to welcome Vijay with the biggest celebration outside India,” he told Bernama.
He said the initial plan was to hold the audio launch in Dubai, but he convinced the team to bring it to Malaysia.
The event will be broadcast globally via satellite and digital platforms, boosting Kuala Lumpur’s profile as a hub for South Asian entertainment.
The celebration is expected to generate strong tourism spillover ahead of Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
Vijay recently launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and is its official chief minister candidate for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
His appearance in Bukit Jalil is expected to be among his final major film-related events before transitioning into politics.
Malik Streams Corporation has also secured the Malaysian distribution rights for ‘Jana Nayagan’.
The movie, produced by KVN Productions, is scheduled for release on January 9, 2026.
