Ameer Sultan Comments on Delay of Vijay's Final Film Jana Nayagan The release of actor and TVK chief Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan, has remained uncertain as it faces delays tied to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Filmmaker Ameer Sultan recently addressed the issue, suggesting that political factors may be influencing the film’s certification process. Originally slated for a theatrical release on January 9, the film was postponed indefinitely after failing to secure its censor certificate. Sultan emphasized that the situation appears unprecedented, as the Censor Board’s involvement with the Election Commission is not a standard practice. Sultan highlighted the lack of transparency surrounding the film’s delays, noting that the CBFC has not provided clear reasons for holding the project back. He pointed to past controversies, such as the case of Vishwaroopam, where certain scenes were removed due to allegations of portraying a minority community as terrorists. Sultan argued that the current situation lacks clarity, with both the film’s creators and the Censor Board withholding specific details. “There is a significant political angle being concealed,” he stated, suggesting that the delay may be tied to Vijay’s upcoming political career with his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. The film, directed by H Vinoth, stars Vijay, Prakash Raj, Pooja Hegde, and Mamitha Baiju. It was billed as Vijay’s farewell project before he transitions to politics. The production team initially announced the postponement of the release, citing “unforeseen circumstances” and awaiting further updates. However, the prolonged certification process has disrupted the film’s release plans, international schedules, and distribution agreements.#central_board_of_film_certification #h_vinoth #vijay #tamilaga_vettri_kazhagam #ameer_sultan
