It seems the issues are far from over for Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, as its censor troubles continue to pile up. Every time the film seemed close to a solution, the delay extended further.
Latest Setback for Jana Nayagan
The makers postponed the film from its January 9 release due to censor issues. The producers tried legal options, but it didn’t work. Later, the film was sent to the Revising Committee, and the team expected good news. However, the screening has still not taken place today as well.
The troubles for Vijay’s Jana Nayagan (starring Tamil actor-politician Vijay) with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) were reportedly due to alleged, politically sensitive content, religious references, and military depictions. This has sparked a major controversy around the Censor Board.
What Happened So Far
Initially cleared with a U/A certificate, the film was later referred to a revising committee following a complaint, stalling its scheduled January 2026 release and sparking legal disputes over censorship. The screening scheduled for March 17 (today) reportedly did not happen as planned, adding to the uncertainty around the film’s theatrical release.
With no clarity on when the Revising Committee will complete its review, the film’s future remains uncertain. Reports suggest the film may now be eyeing a May 2026 release after all the censor delays.
