Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan’ Release Postponed Amidst Censor Row
In a shocking turn of events for millions of fans, Thalapathy Vijay’s highly anticipated political thriller, Jana Nayagan, has officially missed its scheduled January 9 release. The film, which is widely marketed as the superstar’s final cinematic outing before his full-time entry into politics, hit a legal roadblock regarding its Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) clearance.
The Madras High Court reserved its orders on a petition filed by KVN Productions, which challenged the delay in issuing the censor certificate. While the makers argued that all 27 recommended cuts were implemented, the uncertainty forced a last-minute postponement.
Key Takeaways:
The Conflict: Disagreement within the CBFC examining committee led to the delay.
The Stakes: A reported ₹500 crore investment is riding on this "people’s hero" narrative.
What’s Next: A new release date is expected early next week, likely targeting the peak of the Pongal holidays.
