CBI to Question Vijay

Tamil actor Vijay is under increasing pressure ahead of the release of his final film, Jana Nayagan, which is scheduled to hit theatres this Friday. The movie is yet to receive its censor certificate, and reports say that Vijay has also been summoned by the CBI in connection with the Karur stampede case.

As of now, the Central Board of Film Certification has not issued clearance for Jana Nayagan. Due to this delay, the film’s team has approached the court, and the hearing on the matter has been scheduled for tomorrow.

Vijay faces many problems around Jana Nayagan release: CBI to question him soon

Meanwhile, the CBI has issued a notice to Vijay, the chief of the TVK party, asking him to appear for questioning on the 12th in relation to the Karur stampede. He is expected to be questioned at the CBI headquarters in Delhi.

The Supreme Court had earlier ordered a CBI probe into the tragic incident. The stampede occurred during Vijay’s rally on September 27, where 41 people lost their lives and around 60 others were injured.

According to reports, nearly 30,000 people attended the rally, even though the venue had a capacity of only about 10,000. Investigators stated that the failure to follow security guidelines and the lack of proper food and drinking water arrangements contributed to the tragedy.

Jana Nayagan Censor Case Hearing Postponed

Thalapathy Vijay’s last film, Jana Nayagan, is facing unexpected issues regarding the censor process,, and the problem is yet to resolve, as the hearing of the film’s case is postponed to tomorrow.

After completing post-production work, the team of Jana Nayagan submitted the film for censor certification last month. On December 19, the censor board watched the movie and asked the team to remove a few scenes and mute some dialogues.

The production house made the required changes and resubmitted the film. The censor formalities are also said to be completed, but the censor certificate has still not been issued.

With just three days left for the release, the producers have approached the court over the delay. The judge has asked them to file a petition and said they will hear the matter this afternoon.

But shockingly, the hearing regarding the censor certificate will proceed tomorrow at the Madras High Court. The judgment is not out yet. It appears that release-related issues for Jana Nayagan may extend until the last minute.

The Raja Saab America Premieres Report

With three days left until its theatrical release, The Raja Saab is carrying very average advance bookings in North America, which is not a good sign for the film’s box office prospects. 

The bookings are decent in other overseas countries, but in North America, The Raja Saab bookings are not up to the mark. The movie has carried $600K in advances for premieres until now. The good sign is seeing decent jumps in the release week, and it needs to see many more jumps in the next 2 days.

According to the current trend, the movie is aiming at the $1.2M range for premieres, which is not a big number considering the $7.4M breakeven value. The movie needs to get superb word of mouth and has to take a complete high turn in collections.

Jana Nayagan Banned in Saudi Arabia

After facing issues in the domestic censoring, Vijay’s Jana Nayagan has been banned in Saudi Arabia. The reasons are unknown, but certainly, it has come as a shocking revelation to the team and fans. 

Tamil media circles are spreading the news that Jana Nayagan has been banned in Saudi Arabia. The team is planning to apply again after making a few cuts and muting some scenes, hoping it gets approval this time. If the film does not clear censorship, it will be a big loss in the GCC market, which is the second biggest market for a Vijay film after the UAE.

Directed by H. Vinoth, the movie is backed by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions. Jana Nayagan stars Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde, and others in key roles, and it is an official remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari (2023).

Parasakthi Trailer Beats Jana Nayagan

The 2026 Pongal box office is all set to witness an interesting clash between Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi. Both films deal with politically driven themes, but the trailer of Parasakthi beats Vijay’s final film’s trailer views. 

The trailer of Jana Nayagan was released on January 3 and has clocked close to 40 million views on YouTube. Meanwhile, the trailer of Parasakthi, released on January 4, crossed 40 million views, which came as a surprise. But there is also talk that the Parasakthi team used YouTube advertisements across markets, which helped boost the view count.

In terms of audience response, Parasakthi received a largely positive reaction to its trailer. On the other hand, the response to Jana Nayagan has been mixed. Some audiences were slightly disappointed after learning that the film is a confirmed remake.

For Jana Nayagan, the main reason behind the massive buzz is not the content or the director–actor combination, but the fact that it is Vijay’s final film. This is the key factor driving huge advance bookings and expectations of record-breaking openings.

In contrast, Parasakthi is benefiting from its strong combination and effective promotional content. But it is not a high-voltage commercial entertainer, and since it deals with the sensitive topic of anti-Hindi imposition, it remains to be seen how well audiences emotionally connect with the film.

Varanasi New Release Date: Fresh Buzz Begins

Varanasi, one of the largest-scale films ever made in Indian cinema, is being planned for a summer 2027 release, targeting global markets. This was the unofficial information provided to fans and industry circles as well.

Earlier, there was strong buzz in industry circles that the makers were aiming for a release by the end of March. But a new update suggests that Varanasi will arrive in summer only, but now, it is targeting April 9, 2027, as its release date, with Sri Rama Navami falling in the same week.

The Rama Connection could be a significant boost for Varanasi

Mahesh Babu will also appear as Lord Sri Rama in the film, and many believe that Sri Rama Navami would be the perfect occasion for its release. The festival connection is seen as a major advantage for the movie.

That said, releasing such a massive project on the planned date will be a challenge for the makers, as they need to complete all remaining work on time and also secure a solo release date across all film industries. It remains to be seen whether the team can meet these requirements.

Jana Nayagan’s Runtime Bigger Than Bhagavanth Kesari

With the release of its theatrical trailer, it has been confirmed that Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is an official remake of Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari. But what surprised fans is that Jana Nayagan has a runtime that is more than 20 minutes longer than the original film.

After watching the trailer, fans noticed that director H. Vinoth and his team have made several changes to the original story. Bhagavanth Kesari has a runtime of 164 minutes, while Jana Nayagan runs for 183 minutes, creating a difference of nearly 20 minutes.

Reports suggest that several new scenes have been added, most likely featuring political elements that were not present in the original version. There is also strong buzz that the film’s climax will include a special tribute sequence to Thalapathy Vijay, along with a song. All these elements are new additions compared to Bhagavanth Kesari.

The film is set to release in theatres this Friday. Interestingly, after the trailer of Jana Nayagan was released, Bhagavanth Kesari started trending on Prime Video.
