Jana Nayagan Release POSTPONED
In their official announcement, the creators stated: “It is with great regret that we convey this news to our esteemed stakeholders and audience. The release of Jana Nayagan, highly anticipated on January 9, has been delayed due to circumstances that are beyond our control. We fully recognize the excitement, anticipation, and feelings surrounding this film, and making this decision has not been easy for any of us. The new release date will be shared as soon as possible. In the meantime, we kindly ask for your understanding and continued support. Your steadfast encouragement is our greatest asset and means everything to the entire Jana Nayagan team.”
During the hearing on January 7, Senior Advocate Satish Parasaran, representing KVN Productions before the Madras High Court, remarked, “After viewing the film, the member could have only provided suggestions. The member has now taken on the role of the complainant. I am unsure how that occurs. Even if one member raises concerns, it still constitutes a 4:1 majority. How can the viewpoint of a single member serve as the foundation for a review?”

Additionally, the court criticized the CBFC for failing to notify the producers of Jana Nayagan regarding the decision to refer the film for review. Justice PT Asha pointed out that the Examining Committee's concerns had been previously addressed, edits were made, and objectionable language was muted, yet the CBFC opted to delay the issuance of the certificate.
Previously, the film faced a ban in Gulf nations.
