Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' Release Date Shaken by Legal Battle
9 Jan
Summary
- Kerala release confirmed for January 14 amid legal disputes.
- Madras High Court initially ruled in favor of the film's release.
- Censor Board chairperson's appeal keeps pan-India release uncertain.
Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming film, 'Jana Nayagan', has a confirmed release date of January 14 in Kerala, as announced by distributors SSR Entertainment. This comes despite significant legal challenges and ongoing disputes with the Censor Board, which have cast a shadow over its pan-India release. The Madras High Court had previously quashed re-examination orders, ruling in favor of the film.
However, the situation remains fluid as the Censor Board chairperson has filed an appeal against the High Court's decision. This appeal is now before the Chief Justice's bench, creating further uncertainty for the film's release across India. The legal battles originated from certification delays that halted the movie's theatrical debut.
While the legal proceedings continue, the Kerala release on January 14 provides a concrete date for fans in that region. The film, directed by H. Vinoth and also starring Pooja Hegde and Mamitha Baiju, was originally slated for a January 9 release.
