Thalapathy Vijay’s new bet on Pongal

What is the news?

For the fans of South superstar Thalapathy Vijay, this week has been no less than a film script full of ups and downs. On one hand, Vijay’s much-awaited film ‘Jana Nayakan’ is hanging in the balance due to the ongoing bitter dispute with the Censor Board, on the other hand, Vijay has played a trump card for Pongal. In fact, on this special occasion, his biggest blockbuster till date ‘Theri’ is ready to roar on the big screen again.

When there were obstacles in the path of ‘Jana Nayakan’, Vijay found a new way on Pongal.

Lakhs of fans waiting for the release of Vijay’s last film ‘Jana Nayakan’ are heartbroken. Due to the ongoing legal tussle with the Censor Board and the stay on the certificate imposed by the Madras High Court, the release of the film on Pongal now seems almost impossible. Sensing the disappointment of the fans, Vijay has now prepared Plan-B. Actually, his blockbuster film ‘Theri’ is coming to theaters again on January 15, 2026.

‘Theri’ will return to theaters on its 10th anniversary

This film is coming to theaters again on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. As soon as the production house released the new poster of the film, it started trending on social media. ‘Theri’ was released in the year 2016. Made with a budget of around Rs 75 crore, this film had earned Rs 150 crore worldwide. Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson were also a part of ‘Theri’. Remakes of this film have also been made in different languages.

The biggest weapon for victory over Pongal

Directed by Atlee, ‘Theri’ introduced Vijay as a fearless police officer ‘Vijay Kumar’ and a calm father ‘Joseph Kuruvilla’. The action, emotion and swag made it one of the most loved films of Vijay’s career. The magic of this film remains intact even after 10 years of its release. This is the reason why when ‘Jana Nayakan’ got stuck, the producers thought it best to gamble on this film.

Vijay’s fans were saved from heartbreak

Even though the scissors of the Censor Board have blocked the path of ‘Jana Nayakan’, Vijay did not let the enthusiasm of the fans go down on Pongal. He won everyone’s hearts by fielding his biggest strength ‘Theri’ again. Now the fate of ‘Jana Nayakan’ will be decided after the hearing on January 21, but this return of ‘Theri’ on Pongal shows that the lion’s pace may be slow, but its prey never goes empty.
