Jana Nayagan Becomes One of Vijay's Longest Films; Runtime Buzz Sparks Discussion

PUBLISHED DATE | 16/Dec/2025

Actor Vijay’s upcoming film Jana Nayagan has become a major talking point, with reports suggesting that it ranks among the longest runtime films of his career.


According to available details, the Top 3 highest runtime films of Thalapathy Vijay are:

  1. Nanban – 3 hours 8 minutes

  2. Jana Nayagan – 3 hours 6 minutes

  3. The GOAT – 3 hours 3 minutes

 

With this, Jana Nayagan officially stands as Vijay’s second-longest film, just behind Nanban.


However, industry buzz suggests an interesting detail regarding the film’s duration. Trade circles claim that the actual narrative portion of Jana Nayagan runs for approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes, while an additional 15 minutes is said to be dedicated to a tribute segment for Vijay. This speculation has gained traction as the film is being widely touted as Vijay’s final outing before entering full-time politics.


Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay in the lead, is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on January 9. With its political undertones, extended runtime, and the emotional weight surrounding Vijay’s career transition, expectations are high for a historic opening at the box office.
