Let's delve into knowing more.

What did Thalapathy Vijay say at the audio launch of Jana Nayagan?

During the audio launch event of his upcoming film Jana Nayagan, he said, "After Sri Lanka, Malaysia has one of the largest Tamil populations in the world. We can recall many Tamil films shot in Malaysia. Even the 2007 film Billa starring Ajith was even filmed here. My films, such as Kaavalan in 2011 and Kuruvi in 2008, were also shot here. I would like to thank the Malaysian government as well for their support in helping make this event possible."

Thalapathy Vijay further said, "For me one thing matters. People come and stand in theatres for me. For that reason, I'm ready to stand for them for the next 30-33 years. For these Vijay fans, I'm stepping away from cinema. I've faced every kind of criticism right from day one, the same old story. But my fans have stood by me from the beginning, supporting me relentlessly for 33 years. I entered the cinema hoping to build a small sand house, but you gave me a palace. That's why, for the fans who stood for me, I will stand for them. This Vijay will repay his debt of gratitude."
