The controversy surrounding Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming film ‘Jan Nayakan’ has not yet subsided. While audiences are eagerly awaiting the film’s release, the matter between the CBFC and the producers remains unresolved. On Tuesday, the Madras High Court heard the case regarding the release and certification of Thalapathy Vijay’s last film, ‘Jan Nayakan’. A bench comprising Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Srivastava and Justice G. Arul Murugan heard the case and has reserved its judgment. The appeal challenged the single judge’s order directing the CBFC to grant a ‘U/A’ certificate to Vijay’s film ‘Jan Nayakan’.

When will the verdict be announced?
Earlier, there were rumors that the film might be released in theaters on January 26th. However, now that the court has reserved its judgment and no new hearing date has been announced, these rumors have been put to rest. This means that ‘Jan Nayakan’ is unlikely to be released in theaters on January 26th. During the hearing, the CBFC stated that the delay in granting the release certificate was because the board’s chairperson had not yet made a decision, and also clarified that the cuts made to the film were not the final cuts.

Madras High Court reserves judgment
The Madras High Court has reserved its judgment on the appeal filed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) challenging the single bench’s order directing the grant of a ‘U/A’ certificate to Vijay’s film ‘Jan Nayakan’. After a hearing that lasted more than three hours, uncertainty still surrounds the film’s future, and the release date remains unclear, leaving Thalapathy’s fans quite disappointed.

What is the controversy surrounding ‘Jan Nayakan’?
‘Jan Nayakan’ is said to be Vijay’s last film, which was originally scheduled for release on January 9th. The actor is expected to dedicate his full time to politics after the release of this film. However, the CBFC stalled the film’s release just before its scheduled date after initially refusing to certify it. The censor board had initially decided to grant the film a U/A certificate with 16 cuts, but the chairperson later put a hold on it after receiving a complaint. The matter then went to court. On the film’s release day, January 9, a single judge directed the CBFC to issue a censor certificate to Jana Nayakan. Later, a division bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Srivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan stayed the High Court’s order after Additional Solicitor General ARL Sundaresan and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appeared via video conferencing to present the grounds for the CBFC’s appeal and argue the case.
