 Is THALAPATHI VIJAY'S JANA NAYAGAN MOVIE POSTPONED?

The release of the movie JANA NAYAGAN , starring Thalapathy Vijay, was officially postponed on January 7, 2026, just two days before its scheduled debut. The primary reason for the delay is a legal and regulatory standoff involving the film's censor certification.

Here is a breakdown of why the movie was postponed:

1. Censor Board (CBFC) Certification Delay

The film was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in mid-December 2025. Although the Examining Committee initially recommended a U/A 16+ certificate with some cuts, the final certificate was never issued.

 * The Dispute: The CBFC later decided to refer the movie to a Revising Committee (an appellate body) on January 5, 2026.

 * The Reason for Referral: The board cited complaints alleging that the film hurts religious sentiments and contains an objectionable portrayal of the armed forces.

2. High Court Intervention

The producers, KVN Productions, filed an urgent petition in the Madras High Court to compel the CBFC to issue the certificate immediately.

 * The court heard the arguments on January 7 but reserved its order, indicating a decision might only be pronounced on January 9 (the original release date).

 * Without the physical certificate in hand, the makers could not legally screen the film, leading to the cancellation of early morning shows and the removal of the movie from booking platforms like BookMyShow.

3. Distribution & Revenue Issues

Beyond the certification row, the film faced internal industry challenges:

 * International Rollout: Since the Tamil version wasn't certified, dubbed versions (Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam) were also stalled, affecting the global release.

 * Revenue Disputes: Reports surfaced of disagreements between producers and theatre owners regarding high revenue-sharing demands (up to 80%), which added further pressure on the release timeline.

What happens next?

The production house has issued a statement citing "unavoidable circumstances" and has promised to announce a new release date soon. Fans are currently waiting for the Madras High Court's final verdict to see if the film will clear the Revising Committee hurdles.

Would you like me to check if there have been any new updates on the revised release date today?.

However the fans was unhappy due to this reason , they are eagerly waiting for the movie but it is disappointed.
