Vijay's Jana Nayagan Makers Approach Madras High Court Over Censor Certificate Delay
Chennai, January 6 - The makers of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan have moved the Madras High Court after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) failed to issue the film's censor certificate, just days ahead of its scheduled January 9, 2026, release.
According to reports, the film was submitted for certification on December 18, 2025, and the makers have already complied with the minor modifications suggested by the CBFC. However, the certificate is still pending, forcing the makers to seek urgent legal intervention. An urgent hearing was listed on January 6.
The delay has significantly impacted bookings in Tamil Nadu, where full-fledged ticket sales cannot begin without CBFC clearance. While bookings have opened in overseas markets and a few Indian states, exhibitors in Tamil Nadu remain on hold, causing concern among distributors and theatre owners ahead of the Pongal festive period.
Adding to the controversy, members of Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), have criticised the delay, alleging that the certification process is being unnecessarily prolonged. Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is Vijay's final film before his full-time political entry, making the censor delay a closely watched issue across the industry.
