Supreme Court Intervenes in Jana Nayagan Censor Dispute
15 Jan
Summary
- Jana Nayagan, Thalapathy Vijay's film, faces release delay due to CBFC.
- Madras High Court ordered a U/A certificate, but CBFC appealed.
- The case has now moved to the Supreme Court for resolution.
Thalapathy Vijay's anticipated farewell film, Jana Nayagan, is currently facing an unexpected hurdle in its release. The production house, KVN Productions, is in a legal dispute with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over the film's censor certificate, which was withheld just before its scheduled January 9 release. This has put the film's premiere on hold.
The Madras High Court initially ruled in favor of the producers, with Justice PT Asha ordering the CBFC to issue a U/A certificate after 27 modifications were made. However, the CBFC filed an internal appeal, leading to a stay on the High Court's order. The producers then sought recourse from the nation's highest court.
As of Thursday, the Supreme Court has begun hearing the case, aiming to resolve the censorship conflict. The outcome of this legal battle will determine the release date of Jana Nayagan, leaving fans eagerly awaiting an update on this significant matter.
