All about Jana Nayagan row
Vijay found himself amid a storm after his last film, Jana Nayagan, faced a delay in release. Jana Nayagan was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on January 9. The H Vinoth-directed film was supposed to be Vijay’s final film before he contested the Tamil Nadu elections this year with his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party. However, the film has been stuck in a certification limbo with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Recently, during the January 27 hearing at the Madras High Court, a two-judge bench set aside the single-judge bench’s January 9 directive to the CBFC, which had asked them to certify the film. The court directed the producer and the CBFC back to a single-judge bench, stating that the censor board should’ve been allowed time to file a counter. The film has yet to be certified, and both the production house, KVN Productions, and the CBFC have refused to comment on the matter.
Later, the CBFC filed a caveat in the Supreme Court seeking that no order should be passed without hearing it in connection with the release of actor Jana Nayagan.
Directed by H Vinoth and produced by Venkat K Narayana under KVN Productions, the film’s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Apart from Vijay, Bobby Deol and Pooja Hegde, the film also stars Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani and Narain.
