Jul 29, 2026 01:40 PM IST 'Only MGR, Rajinikanth and now Vijay': Tiruppur Subramaniam hails Jana Nayagan's box office run Film exhibitor Tiruppur Subramaniam has praised Thalapathy Vijay's star power, saying Jana Nayagan opened bigger than his previous film because of his elevation as Chief Minister Vijay.
Speaking about the film's performance, as per a post shared by @MoviesSingapore, he shared, "#jananayagan had a greater opening than his previous film, and the reason is that he’s now #cmvijay.
If the movie had released during Pongal, it would’ve been even different.
Theatre owners were scared because the movie had leaked, but even then, it opened huge.
It’s a very happy moment for us. #thalapathyvijay’s mass appeal is on another level.
Every audience member is saddened that he’s leaving cinema with this movie, and many don’t even realise that he’s now The Honourable Chief Minister.
From 40-50-year-old ladies to 25-year-old youngsters, everyone is enjoying the film.
Only the #vijay brand could make this happen.
This has happened only for #mgr and #rajinikanth, and now it’s happening for him.
There’s a 20-year generational gap between the biggest stars.
The movie will cross the ₹100Cr mark very easily.
We can truly judge its performance only based on its long run.
Due to the A certificate, family audiences can’t come, which is a big minus.
Even after becoming CM, he’s giving a warm welcome to everyone in the cinema sector.
When a No.1 star exits, it’s a huge loss for cinema.
In Tamil Nadu, his films can easily gross ₹250Cr - ₹300Cr, with distributors earning a ₹100Cr share.
Theatre owners altogether can earn an ₹80Cr - ₹90Cr share from his films."
