'Jana Nayagan' delayed by CBFC objections
Jana Nayagan wasn't an easy release: it was delayed by nearly seven months because of censorship hurdles, with the CBFC raising concerns about some scenes.
The film had to go through several edits and even court battles before finally getting cleared.
Still, fans turned out in force for this star-studded send-off featuring Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, and more.
