- Wednesday, the Madras High Court heard KVN Productions' petition and reserved orders on Jana Nayagan's certification dispute, postponing its January 9 release worldwide from Friday.
- After KVN Productions submitted the film on 18 December, the examining committee screened it on 22 December recommending a U/A certificate; following cuts, the regional officer referred it to a revising committee under Rule 24 on 5 January.
- Senior Counsel Satish Parasaran argued the referral to a new panel was `arbitrary and unlawful`, while ASG ARL Sundaresan said the CBFC chairperson can order a review and sought four weeks to file a counter-affidavit.

- Jana Nayagan's status as Vijay's 69th and final lead film fuels hype after its trailer amassed more than 83 million views and Anirudh Ravichander's music sparked strong anticipation amid its clash with Parasakthi.
