The Madras High Court has delivered a major setback to the makers of Vijay’s upcoming film Jana Nayagan by setting aside an earlier single judge’s order that had favoured the movie in its ongoing censor dispute. The development has added fresh uncertainty to the film’s release plans.
What the Court Ruled
A division bench of the Madras High Court overturned the single judge’s decision, which had granted relief to the makers regarding certification issues raised by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). With this order now nullified, the matter returns to an uncertain legal position, delaying further progress.
Background of the Censor Controversy
The censor row began after objections were raised over certain scenes and dialogues in Jana Nayagan. While the single judge had earlier ruled in favour of the filmmakers, allowing temporary relief, the latest judgment has effectively reversed that decision.
Impact on Vijay’s Film
As a result, the makers may have to approach the court again or comply with additional CBFC requirements. Meanwhile, the film’s release timeline remains unclear, worrying fans who have been eagerly awaiting Vijay’s return to the big screen.
What Lies Ahead
Industry observers believe the producers may now seek further legal remedies or initiate fresh discussions with the censor board. Until then, Jana Nayagan remains caught in legal limbo.
Fans React to the Setback
Soon after the ruling, fans took to social media to express disappointment. However, many also voiced confidence that the issue would be resolved soon, citing Vijay’s strong track record and massive public support.
