The review screening of actor Vijay's upcoming film Jana Nayagan by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has been postponed, according to sources. Originally scheduled to take place on Monday, the event was delayed due to the illness of a committee member. The CBFC will now convene a revising committee to re-examine the film before issuing its final certification. A CBFC board member will oversee the process, with a new set of advisory panel members joining the committee for the screening. The exact date for the rescheduled review has not yet been announced. The production house, KVN Productions, received notification of the postponement on Sunday. The delay follows complications in the certification process, which initially pushed back the film's original release date of January 9. Earlier, the CBFC had reviewed the film in December 2025 and recommended certain edits, which the makers implemented. However, the issue resurfaced when a member of the original evaluating committee filed a complaint alleging the film offended religious sentiments and failed to consult the armed forces before using their logos. In response, the CBFC chairperson referred the film to a revising committee for re-evaluation. In January, KVN Productions had also filed a petition with the Madras High Court challenging the CBFC's decision to send the film for a fresh review. Recently, the producers submitted a request to withdraw the petition from the court registry. Jana Nayagan features an ensemble cast including Mamitha Baiju, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Pooja Hegde, and Narain. The film's certification process has been marked by repeated delays and legal challenges, highlighting the complexities of navigating regulatory scrutiny in the film industry.#central_board_of_film_certification #kvn_productions #jana_nayagan #madras_high_court #bobby_deol
