‘Jana Nayagan' The First Roar: Vijay plays the true leader for the masses in H Vinoth's film
The makers of Tamil star Vijay's upcoming movie Jana Nayagan released the film's first glimpse on the occasion of the actor's 51st birthday. The film will be released in theatres on January 9, 2026, during the festival of Pongal. Directed by H Vinoth, the film marks Vijay's last outing before he gets into full-time politics. Titled 'The First Roar', the video begins with the word En Nenjil Kudiyirikum (to those who live in my heart), the famous line from his speech as the head of his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Vijay is seen as a cop with a blood-stained sword. 'A true leader rises not for power, but for the people,' says a caption in the video. Anirudh Ravichander's background score comes with the mention of 'Thalapathy', the actor's famous moniker. Jana Nayagan is touted to be a political actioner. The previously released first look of the highly-anticipated movie had the star recreate his iconic selfie from the sets of Master in Neyveli in February 2020, while the second look featured the star wielding a whip, with 'Naan Aanai Ittaal' written as a tagline ('Naan Aanai Ittaal' is the iconic song of late actor-politician MG Ramachandran from his 1965 film, Enga Veettu Pillai.) Starring his Beast co-star Pooja Hegde as the female lead, the film features an ensemble star cast that includes veteran Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Narain, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Mamitha Baiju. This is Anirudh's his fifth collaboration with Vijay after Kaththi, Master, Beast, and Leo. With Sathyan Sooriyan handling the cinematography, the film has Pradeep E Ragav as the editor, Analarasu as the stunt choreographer, and Selvakumar as the art director.

Chinnalagu Vijaya Kumar gets James Beard Award for best chef in New York State
Fresh off his James Beard Award for best chef in New York State a few days ago, Chinnalagu Vijaya Kumar is furiously on the lookout for fresh goat's blood. Rattha poriyal (goat's blood fry), he says, is a dish he's been dying to add to the menu at Semma, his "unapologetically" Tamil restaurant in New York City. "Unfortunately, it's tough to source it in the US. A request for fresh goat's blood is not something people here are used to," says Vijaya Kumar. But it's something he's sure is going to be a 'semma' (Tamil slang for awesome) hit with his customers. "It's a dish straight from the heart of Tamil Nadu. It's what my food is about, showcasing Tamil cuisine in all its spice, richness, texture, and aroma." It's the same Tamil pride Vijaya Kumar brought with him on stage at the awards ceremony on June 16. Dressed in a veshti — he owns dozens as it's the other staple he has specially flown in from Tamil Nadu along with his condiments — Vijaya Kumar said, in a speech that's gone viral: "Never in my life did I think something like this could happen... that a kid from a small town in Tamil Nadu would one day be standing here. We're celebrating the fire and soul of South Indian cooking in a city that has never quite seen it this way, and we're doing it proudly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Market: Scholarships You Can Apply For (Start Now) Google Search Search Now Undo " When he opened Semma in 2021 and showcased a nathai pirattal (snail masala fry) in its unabashedly rustic glory, packed with onions, tomatoes, and all the goodness of his grandma's home kitchen in Nathan, Madurai, where he grew up, he never thought it would catch on like wildfire, Vijaya Kumar says. "Every time I spoke of snails in New York, all that people knew of it in terms of a dish was the classic French escargot. Why not give people a taste of my paati's (grandmother's) escargot, I thought. " And there was no looking back, says Vijaya Kumar, as he watched hordes of patrons lap up the nathai pirattal, wiping their plates clean with the kal dosa served alongside. He kept smashing out the muyal pirattals (wild rabbit leg), vazhakkai varuvals (roasted plantain), and Chettinad maan kari (deer curry), and almost as fast, the awards streamed in. First, the Michelin Star; then, the rating as one of New York's top restaurants; and now, the James Beard Award, considered the Oscars of the restaurant world. "The dishes are all inspired by family recipes," says Vijaya Kumar. "Growing up, during the holidays, I would forage for snails and hunt for rabbits with my grandmother in Arukkumpatti, a small village that didn't even have a bus service. I would watch her prepare the dish. Everything I make here is exactly as it should be eaten in a home in Madurai. No fancying it up, no toning it down, it's just Tamil food, no filters."
