Will Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' get delayed again?
What's the story
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) revising committee screening on Monday for Thalapathy Vijay's highly-anticipated film Jana Nayagan has reportedly been canceled. The reason behind this last-minute change is the sudden illness of a committee member, reported India Today. This unexpected development could potentially delay the film's release, which was rumored to be scheduled for March 19.
Postponed proceedings
New date for screening yet to be decided
The CBFC revising committee screening for Jana Nayagan was reportedly scheduled for March 9 at 2:00pm. However, the sudden illness of a committee member has led to the postponement of this crucial review process. A new date for the screening is yet to be decided, which could further delay the film's release plans. The socio-political movie is directed by H Vinoth and also stars Pooja Hegde in the lead role.
Production hurdles
Film faced legal issues, delays earlier
The production of Jana Nayagan has been marred by several delays and legal battles. The CBFC committee had initially screened the film in December 2025 and suggested some cuts, which were made by the makers. However, a member of the original committee filed a complaint against the film for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and using armed forces logos without consultation, leading to another delay.
Legal withdrawal
Makers withdraw legal case against CBFC
The production house had then moved the court in January after the censor board decided to send the film for a revising committee review. Later, the makers of Jana Nayagan submitted a letter to the Madras High Court registry seeking to withdraw their legal case against the CBFC. Despite these hurdles, fans are still eagerly waiting for an official update on its certification and release plans.
