On January 27, the Madras High Court set aside the order of a single judge that directed the CBFC to grant censor certificate to the movie
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had recently filed a caveat in the Supreme Court seeking that no order should be passed without hearing it in connection with the release of actor Vijay-starrer Tamil film “Jana Nayagan”.
A caveat was filed by a litigant in the high courts and the Supreme Court to ensure that no adverse order is passed against it without it being heard. The film was supposed to release in cinemas on January 10 but continues to be in limbo.

Speaking to Vikatan, Simbu, as addressed, said, “We cannot separate Jana Nayagan and Vijay.
He added, “He has been in this industry for so many years and has worked in a film for one last time. I put up a post supporting him, as the film should come out. I neither know politics nor have the relevant experience in it. I am also not the right person to speak about it. I wish him the best for his upcoming political endeavours and his future.”
On January 27, the Madras High Court set aside the order of a single judge that directed the CBFC to grant censor certificate to the movie, and said that certain references to the Army and religious sentiments require consideration.
The film is stated to be Vijay’s last, ahead of his full-fledged political entry. He heads the fledgling Tamiga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) political party.
The bench allowed an appeal filed by the CBFC, challenging the order of Justice Asha, dated January 9, which also quashed a communication dated January 5 of the regional officer of the censor board, stating that based on a complaint from one of its members, the matter has been referred to the revising committee by the Chairperson of the board.
