US Edition'Jana Nayagan' Row: No Clarity on Release Date of Vijay's Last Film, Producer Moves Madras High Court to Withdraw Writ Petition Against CBFC
KVN Productions agreed to CBFC's revising committee review and implemented excisions to obtain a U/A certificate, signaling the end of court litigation over Jana Nayagan.
- On February 10, 2026, KVN Productions asked the Madras High Court to withdraw its writ and accepted referral of Jana Nayagan to the CBFC revising committee, with the withdrawal listed before Justice P.T. Asha.
- Following a complaint, the CBFC five-member examination committee viewed Jana Nayagan on December 19, 2025, and the producer resubmitted an edited version on December 24, 2025, before the film was referred to the revising committee.
- After hearing lengthy arguments before the Division Bench on January 20, the court reserved orders; the CBFC moved an urgent writ appeal, the Division Bench obtained an interim stay and on January 27 set aside the single judge's order, remanding the matter for fresh hearing.
- Advocate Vijayan Subramanian filed the withdrawal letter with the court, stating KVN Productions does not wish to pursue the litigation and if allowed, the writ process will end.
- Amid procedural complaints, an Advisory Panel Member said they watched the film on December 19, 2025, and flagged concerns about foreign-involvement visuals and missing defence expertise in the examining committee.
