The highly anticipated Tamil film ‘Jana Nayagan’, starring popular actor Vijay, is now one step closer to release after the Madras High Court allowed the producers to withdraw their legal case against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
The production house, KVN Productions, had earlier approached the court when the CBFC delayed granting a censor certificate, which temporarily blocked the film’s release. The legal fight had gained attention because the movie was initially scheduled to hit theaters during the Pongal festival in January 2026, but certification issues caused delays.
The CBFC had asked its Revising Committee to review the film after receiving complaints about certain scenes, including content that might hurt religious sentiments and portray the defense forces in a sensitive way. Earlier, a single-judge court had directed the board to issue the certificate, but this was later stayed by a division bench, sending the matter back to the CBFC for proper review.
Instead of pursuing the court case further, the producers chose to withdraw the petition, effectively ending the legal battle. Now, the film will go through the official CBFC review process, which will determine the final certification and the release date.
Fans and industry observers have been eagerly following the controversy, and this development brings relief to many who have been waiting for the film’s release. By stepping back from the courts, the producers are now relying on the standard certification process, which could soon clear the way for ‘Jana Nayagan’ to finally hit theaters.
