Vijay's Jana Nayagan Faces Censor Chaos
7 Jan
Summary
- Filmmaker Ajay Gnanamuthu voiced support for Jana Nayagan's embattled team.
- Madras High Court ordered a fresh censor review, cancelling early shows.
- Advance bookings show strong demand despite ongoing release uncertainties.
Director Ajay Gnanamuthu has publicly supported the makers of Thalapathy Vijay's film, Jana Nayagan, amid its release difficulties. He criticized the misuse of power, emphasizing the collective effort and investment involved in filmmaking. Gnanamuthu pledged to celebrate the film enthusiastically whenever it premieres, highlighting its significance as Vijay's farewell movie before his political career.
The film encountered a major obstacle when the Madras High Court deferred its verdict until the scheduled release date, January 9, and mandated a new review by the Central Board of Film Certification. This decision resulted in the cancellation of all shows before 10 am, causing disruption for exhibitors and fans eager for first-day-first-show experiences. The Tamil version's certification is critical for its international releases.
Despite the legal challenges and a month-long wait for certification, audience enthusiasm for Jana Nayagan is palpable. Advance ticket sales have reached impressive levels in several regions, with early morning shows selling out in Karnataka. The film, directed by H Vinoth, stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and others, and its release remains anticipated globally, with the UK already granting clearance.
