Jana Nayagan: Censor Snag & Leak Drama Before Release
22 Jul
Summary
- Film release delayed six months due to censor certificate issues.
- Director H Vinoth involved court after failed attempts for clarity.
- Piracy suspect is now imprisoned after legal action was taken.
The film 'Jana Nayagan,' starring Vijay, is scheduled for a worldwide release on July 23, following a prolonged six-month delay. Originally slated for a Pongal release, the movie's launch was hindered by complications in obtaining a censor certificate.
Director H Vinoth shared that the team initiated the censor process twenty days prior to the planned release. Despite initial approval with minor edits for a U/A 16+ certificate, the process stalled due to an unspecified complaint filed against the film, blocking the online portal. This led the team to seek legal recourse.
Vinoth stated that the delay was not due to the Censor Board but possibly other reasons, without naming specific parties. Separately, a piracy issue was addressed legally, resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of the responsible individual, with bail denied. This ensured the film's release, overcoming both censorship hurdles and piracy controversies.
