The makers of Tamil superstar Vijay’s much-awaited farewell film, Jana Nayagan, confirmed on Wednesday (January 7, 2026) that the film will not release on January 9, 2026, Friday, and that their new release plans will be announced soon. This comes just hours after the Madras High Court reserved orders on a writ petition filed by the makers against the non-issuance of the film’s censor certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
In a statement posted on their official X handle, the film’s banner KVN Productions wrote, “It is with a heavy heart that we share this update with our valued stakeholders and audiences. The release of Jana Nayagan, eagerly awaited on January 9, 2026 has been postponed due to unavoidable circumstances beyond our control.
