Following the grand audio launch of his upcoming film Jana Nayagan in Malaysia on December 27, actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay returned to Chennai on Sunday. At the event, Vijay officially confirmed that Jana Nayagan will be his swansong before he ventures into full-time politics.

Vijay mobbed at the airport
Several videos from the airport have surfaced on social media, showing Vijay stumbling and falling while attempting to get into his car. In a clip, the TVK chief was seen gheraoed by hundreds of fans outside the airport premises as they chanted ‘Thalapathy’ and tried to get closer to him.

What Vijay said at Jana Nayagan's audio launch
The audio launch was held at Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on December 27, reportedly attended by nearly 1 lakh fans. It entered the Malaysian Book of Records for the largest audience at such an event.
At the event, Vijay said he decided to "give up cinema" to "stand up" for his fans who offered him everything, including a kottai (fort), reported PTI.
In Tamil Nadu, kottai means fort, which symbolises someone's bastion as well as Fort St George, a British-built fortress, that houses the state’s legislative Assembly, Secretariat and Chief Minister’s office since independence.
"When I entered the cinema, I thought I was building a small sand house here. But you all have built me a palace. Fans helped me build a fort… That’s why I’ve decided to stand for them. For the fans who gave up everything for me, I’m giving up cinema itself," he said.
