- Title Influence: The title nods to Kamal Haasan’s iconic 1989 film Nayakan, but reimagined for a modern political story. The name gained extra attention when Anupam Kher briefly used it for an unrelated project, which prompted strong online backing for Vijay’s Jana Nayagan.

- First Single: The first song, “Thalapathy Kacheri”, was released on 8 November 2025. It is a high-energy dance number composed by Anirudh Ravichander and is widely believed to feature Vijay’s vocals. The track salutes his trademark dance style and long career, and it went viral within hours, sparking fan events and celebrations.
- Business Buzz: Overseas theatrical rights have reportedly been sold for a record ₹78 crore, highlighting the scale of hype around what many see as Vijay’s farewell film. The movie is set for a massive theatrical launch during the festive weekend and could face a big box office clash with Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi.
