19 Jan
Summary
- Vijay's last film 'Jana Nayagan' faced censor certificate delays.
- Cinematographer PC Sreeram criticized potential government agency misuse.
- Supreme Court dismissed a plea for expedited censor clearance.
The delay in obtaining a censor certificate for Vijay's final film, 'Jana Nayagan', has caused significant unrest within the Tamil film industry. Helmed by H Vinoth, the film's certification process, initially expected to be routine, has evolved into a point of contention, raising concerns about undue pressure on Indian cinema. Veteran cinematographer PC Sreeram voiced his strong disapproval on social media, highlighting fears of government agencies being misused, a sentiment that resonated with many industry observers.
Adding to the complexity, the Supreme Court recently dismissed a plea from producer Venkat K. Narayana for expedited censor clearance. The court has referred the matter to the Madras High Court, mandating a final decision by January 20. This judicial intervention underscores the gravity of the situation, which has amplified the pre-release buzz for 'Jana Nayagan'.
Originally slated for a Pongal release on January 9, the film stars Mamitha Baiju, Bobby Deol, and Pooja Hegde, among others. 'Jana Nayagan' is notably Vijay's last cinematic venture before he transitions to a full-time political career, making its release a landmark event for his fans and the industry.
