The grand audio launch of the film Jananaayakan, held in Malaysia on December 27, turned into a record-setting event. The programme has officially been included in the Malaysian Book of Records for being the audio launch event with the highest public attendance in the country.
The event opened with a special performance by actor Vijay’s mother, which drew an emotional response from the audience. Vijay later walked onto the stage and embraced his father, a moment that was met with loud applause from those present in the stadium.
