The audio launch event for Jana Nayagan, starring superstar Vijay, has entered the Malaysia Book of Records after drawing one of the largest crowds ever seen at an audio launch in the country. The celebration took place at Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on December 27, 2025, and was attended by an estimated 75,000–85,000 fans — a historic turnout for an Indian film music event abroad.
Record Crowd at Thalapathy Thiruvizha
The sprawling audio launch — dubbed “Thalapathy Thiruvizha” — was more than a music event: it was a celebration of Vijay’s 33-year cinematic journey and a heartfelt farewell as the star prepares to step away from films to focus on his political career. The massive crowd and enthusiastic response led officials to duly certify the milestone in the Malaysia Book of Records for the highest attendance at an audio launch event.
According to local Malaysian reports, Vijay’s presence and the sheer magnitude of fan turnout were key to the record setting — with fans travelling from across the world, including from India, Sri Lanka and Singapore, to witness the spectacle.

Vijay’s Emotional Goodbye
At the event, Vijay acknowledged the unwavering support of his fans — especially the Malaysian Tamil community — as he spoke about his decision to leave cinema behind and dedicate himself fully to serving his supporters. “When I entered cinema, I thought I was building a small sand house… but you provided me with a palace,” he said, thanking the crowd for their lifelong support.
With almost one lakh people present, the audio launch not only set a record attendance milestone but also stood as a powerful testament to Vijay’s enduring impact on fans worldwide — particularly in Malaysia, which is home to one of the largest Tamil diasporas outside India.
