On Sunday, Ahimsa Entertainment made another post which read, “THE HONOURABLE CHIEF MINISTER OF TAMIL NADU. C JOSEPH VIJAY. #JanaNayagan in UK cinemas July 24 — uncut, 15-rated. All the action, all the mass, all the Thalapathy craze, exactly as it was meant to be seen. One last time.”
The Jana Nayagan controversy
Jana Nayagan is Vijay’s last movie after he went into politics full time and became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. The movie was first planned for release in January around Pongal; but, certificate problems caused delays. After a seven-month-long fight, the movie is at last releasing with an A certificate.
Last week, KVN Productions’ business head told SCREEN that Jana Nayagan had been passed by the CBFC with an A certificate and added, “We’ll be releasing the movie worldwide on July 24.” Sadly, a few months back, Jana Nayagan’s unfinished version was leaked online.
During the movie’s delay, Vijay ran for the Tamil Nadu State Assembly Elections and was also taken in as the state’s Chief Minister. In March, during one of his election meetings, Vijay had spoken about Jana Nayagan’s delay and said, “During the release of the film Jana Nayagan, many people raised their voices in support. Even our Chief Minister voiced his support. I thank them for that. Chief Minister, you may try to silence me, but you cannot silence every Vijay in every household.”
Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, also stars Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, and Narain in important roles.
