Vijay's Political Debut Film Stuck in Censor Maze

Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan,' slated as his final cinematic release before entering politics, encountered significant obstacles regarding its censor certificate, thereby missing its planned January 9 Pongal release. This situation sparked confusion and controversy among fans.

The production house initially pursued legal channels, moving the Madras High Court, which ordered the censor board to issue a U/A certificate. However, the censor board challenged this order, leading to an interim stay. The matter escalated to the Supreme Court, which declined to intervene and directed the production house to return to the High Court.

In a surprising turn, reports indicate the filmmakers have opted to withdraw their case from the judicial process. This executive decision means they will either seek re-examination from the censor board or continue the court battle from the High Court. The film's future release remains uncertain as the process restarts.
