US EditionThalapathy Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' postponed after court delays verdict over certification, makers issue statement
Certification delay by India's Central Board of Film Certification and pending Madras High Court ruling postponed Vijay's film, originally set to open on 5,000 screens worldwide.
- On Wednesday , KVN Productions announced Jana Nayagan's release is postponed due to unavoidable circumstances beyond our control and promised a new date soon.
- KVN Productions submitted the censor cut on December 19, after which an examining committee recommended a U/A 16+ certificate following around 27 cuts, but a dissenting member's complaint led the Central Board of Film Certification chairman to refer the film to a Revising Committee.
- Madras High Court reserved its order, and the judge said the verdict may be pronounced only on January 9 at 10.30 am; the film was set to open on 5,000 screens worldwide with nearly Rs 500 crore invested.
- In Singapore, fans who queued for tickets were left disappointed after Jana Nayagan's postponement removed it from the Pongal weekend, leaving Parasakthi as the solo Tamil release on January 9.
- Jana Nayagan, billed as Vijay's swansong, matters beyond box office because Congress leaders criticised the CBFC for politicisation and filmmakers urged streamlined certification timelines.
