New Delhi, December 29, 2025: An overwhelming wave of emotion and fan frenzy was witnessed at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur this weekend during the audio launch of Jana Nayagan. On the evening of December 27, 2025, Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay was greeted by an estimated crowd of over 85,000 people for what is being billed as his final cinematic event before his full-time transition into politics. The atmosphere was described by attendees as “electric yet bittersweet,” as the actor-politician delivered a poignant address marking the end of his three-decade-long career.
The event took a chaotic turn as the audio launch concluded and Vijay attempted to navigate his way to his vehicle. In a viral video circulating on social media, a massive surge of fans was observed breaking through security cordons to catch a final glimpse of their idol. Due to the intense pushing and the sheer volume of the crowd, the actor was seen momentarily losing his balance and falling amidst the scramble. He was quickly assisted by his personal security team and local Malaysian authorities, who were observed forming a human chain to escort him safely to his convoy.

Despite the deployment of thousands of security personnel, the scale of the “Thalapathy Thiruvizha” (Thalapathy Festival) proved difficult to manage. The stadium, which has a capacity for 85,000, was reported to be overflowing, with thousands more fans gathered outside the gates. The viral footage of the fall has sparked a debate online regarding the safety protocols at high-profile celebrity events. While no serious injuries were reported, the incident highlighted the deep emotional intensity of the fans who had traveled from across the globe to bid farewell to the superstar.
The “fall” occurred shortly after Vijay had delivered a powerful and introspective speech on stage. He was heard telling the roaring crowd, “For the fans who sacrificed everything for me, I am sacrificing cinema itself.” He expressed his gratitude to the Malaysian Tamil community, recalling his early days of shooting films like Kuruvi and Kaavalan in the country. The actor’s promise to “repay the debt” through his political journey with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) was met with thunderous applause, further heightening the excitement that led to the post-event scramble.
As the year 2025 draws to a close, this incident remains the most-discussed topic in the South Indian film industry. Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth and featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander, is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on January 9, 2026. While the viral video of the fall caused temporary concern among fans, the focus has since shifted back to the historic nature of the Malaysia event. The audio launch will be televised on Zee Tamil on January 4, allowing millions more to witness the final public address of one of India’s most influential screen icons.
