CBFC process reportedly completed for Thalapathy Vijay’s final film
Another major update surrounding the film is its certification process. Reports claim that the makers have submitted all the modifications suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), bringing the lengthy certification process to an end. The censor certificate is reportedly expected to be issued soon. Once that happens, the production house is likely to announce the official release date. The completion of the certification process has further strengthened speculation that Jana Nayagan is finally ready for its theatrical release after months of uncertainty.
Why was Jana Nayagan delayed?
Jana Nayagan was originally scheduled to hit theatres on January 9, but its release was delayed after the film encountered issues during the certification process. After being submitted to the CBFC in December 2025, the examining committee reportedly suggested several modifications. Even after the makers resubmitted the film, the process remained stalled following objections raised over certain scenes that were believed to hurt public sentiments.
The issue eventually reached the Madras High Court before the makers withdrew their petition and agreed to send the film to the revising committee. At the same time, reports suggested that the timing of the film’s release had become a talking point because it was Vijay’s final film before entering full-time politics and ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
About Jana Nayagan
