Why was Jana Nayagan delayed?

On the legal front, the case surrounding Jana Nayagan has taken several turns. The court recently set aside an earlier order and announced a fresh hearing, stating that the Central Board of Film Certification must be given adequate time to submit its counter-affidavit. The matter has now been sent back to the single judge for reconsideration.

The producers have also been allowed time to amend their appeal and challenge a January 6 letter issued by the CBFC chairman, which played a key role in delaying the film’s release. Earlier, a single bench judge had directed the CBFC to grant the film a U/A 16+ certificate, but that order was later challenged.

What’s next for Jana Nayagan?

Directed by H Vinoth, Jana Nayagan was originally scheduled to release on January 9. The postponement followed the film being referred to a revising committee after an internal complaint. The legal process is still ongoing, and the final decision will determine when the film can reach theatres.
