The highly anticipated Jana Nayagan re-certification screening by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was scheduled for today, March 9, 2026, at 02:00 PM. The producers had reportedly received official confirmation a week ago, raising expectations that the film would finally move forward in its certification process.
Jana Nayagan Screening Cancelled Due to Board Member’s Health
According to Tamil media reports, the CBFC has now informed the Jana Nayagan producers that the scheduled screening cannot proceed today.
Reports suggest that one of the key CBFC board members, who was expected to attend the screening and review the film, is currently unwell, forcing the authorities to cancel the entire re-certification screening at the last moment.
However, this development is still unofficial, and it remains to be seen how much truth there is in these reports.
Earlier Reports Suggested Positive Outcome
Earlier updates had suggested that Jana Nayagan would undergo its censor review today, with the team expecting to receive the censor certificate within the next 10 days if everything went smoothly.
With these conflicting reports circulating, an official update from the CBFC or the film’s production team is expected later today.
Vijay Fans Await Official Update
Fans of Vijay and movie audiences are now waiting for clarity regarding the Jana Nayagan certification process.
The film has already faced multiple hurdles during its certification journey, and supporters are hoping that the latest delay is only temporary and that the film will soon receive a positive update.
