Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay was set to return to the big screens with his latest film Jana Nayagan on January 9. However, the release was postponed due to delays in certification by the CBFC.
The makers approached the Madras High Court seeking urgent relief. The matter, however, was adjourned to January 21, pushing the film further away from its planned release window.
This delay means Jana Nayagan may miss the Sankranthi season entirely. This is a major concern for the makers, as the festival period is crucial for box office performance.
Following this setback, fresh developments suggest that the makers have now moved the Supreme Court. They have reportedly requested expedited action in the case.
The argument presented is that the film was made on a massive budget. Missing the Sankranthi season could prove financially damaging for the project.
The makers are seeking priority completion of censor formalities. Their aim is to secure a release during the second week of January, which now appears difficult under the current timeline.
With the Madras High Court date falling on January 21, an early release seems unlikely without intervention. This has placed the spotlight firmly on the Supreme Court.
All eyes are now on the Supreme Court’s verdict. The decision will ultimately determine whether Jana Nayagan can release during the Sankranthi season or face further delays.
