The suspense over the much-anticipated worldwide theatrical release of actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay’s supposedly last movie ‘Jana Nayagan’ on January 9, 2026 would now rest upon the decision to be taken by the Madras High Court on Wednesday (January 7) in a case filed by the production firm on Tuesday against the delay in issuance of censor certificate.
Justice P.T. Asha on Tuesday (January 6) asked Additional Solicitor General AR.L. Sundaresan, representing the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), to submit in the court all records including a complaint received against the contents of the movie. The judge wanted the records to be placed before her on Wednesday since the movie was slated to be released on Friday.
