Chennai: Tamil actor-turned-politican and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan,has finally crossed a major hurdle before its release. The Central Board of Film Cerfication(CBFC) has examined the film, and its certificate is expected to be issued soon. top sources said "The film has been examined,and the certificate will be issued shortly".
The film has been waiting for CBFC clearance for several months.According to sources, Jana Nayagan had been awaiting certification since January 2026,creating uncertainty over its release.It was originally expected to arrive in theatres earlier this year but could not be released because the censor certificate was still pending.
Now that the examination process has been completed, the film is expected to receive its certificate within the next few days.While the makers have not announced a new release date yet, the certification clears the final major hurdle before the film reaches theatres.
Reports suggest that the certification process was delayed after a CBFC member raised concerns about some scenes in the film, claiming they could hurt public sentiments. There were also unconfirmed reports that a few scenes could benefit Vijay's political campaign, as the film was initially planned for release just months before Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
The board later suggested that the film reviewed by a revising committee.Its response, production house KVN Productions approached the Madras High Court, seeking quicker censor clearance. However, after about a month of legal proceedings, the makers withdrew their petition and agreed to send the film to the revising committee.
Despite that decision, the film continued to wait for clearance for several more months.With the CBFC examination now complete, the long wait finally appears to be coming to an end.
