Buzz: Atlee, Nelson & Lokesh to Make Cameos in Vijay’s Last Film?

Jana Nayagan, the keenly awaited social drama, marks Tamil star Thalapathy Vijay’s last movie before he takes a plunge into Tamil Nadu politics. The film is scheduled for a Pongal festive release on January 9, ahead of Tamil Nadu assembly elections next year. The film is being directed by H. Vinoth, and it also features Pooja Hegde in a lead role.

The latest buzz on Jana Nayagan has catapulted the sky-high expectations to the next level. The ongoing buzz in Kollywood reveals that star Tamil directors Lokesh Kanagaraj, Atlee, and Nelson will be seen in special cameos in Jana Nayagan. Apparently, the three maverick directors will be playing journalists in a crucial scene in the movie.

Vijay shares a very close bond with Lokesh, Atlee, and Nelson, all three directors who delivered fanboy films with Vijay in the lead role. In fact, Vijay had once turned emotional and called Nelson, Lokesh, and Atlee “my boys.” If the buzz ends up being true, it will be a memorable moment for fans to see Vijay sharing the screen with his directors.

While Lokesh churned out two massive money-spinners with Vijay with Master and Leo, Atlee and Vijay had collaborated on the hattrick hits—Theri, Mersal, and Bigil. Finally, Nelson’s Beast is one of the highest-grossing movies in Vijay’s career. Fans will have to wait until next January to see the actor and his directors together in one frame.
