'Jana Nayagan' teaser offers first glimpse of Vijay's last film
Titled First Roar, the short video gives fans their first glimpse of Vijay in the film.
The 65-second teaser opens with Vijay's voice saying, "You guys will live in my heart."
The actor is then seen walking through a battle-like setting in a police uniform, holding a lathi (baton). The teaser features visuals of destruction and calm intensity, setting the tone for a serious action drama.
Along with the teaser, the makers also released a poster showing Vijay seated on a throne with a sword in hand against a smoky, intense backdrop. The film will be Vijay's last before his expected shift to politics.
In January, on the occasion of India's Republic Day, Thalapathy Vijay surprised his fans by unveiling his look from the film. The film's first poster showed Vijay taking a selfie with a swarm of people in the backdrop.
