Jana Nayagan Producer Commends Vijay's CM Oath Amid Film Certification Delays The producer of Vijay's upcoming film Jana Nayagan broke silence on the project's release timeline following the actor-turned-politician's swearing-in as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister. K Venkat Narayana, the producer of the film, expressed optimism about its release, stating that the team would proceed once the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted the necessary certificate. Narayana also extended congratulations to Vijay for his historic election victory, emphasizing the significance of the moment for Tamil Nadu. Originally slated for a January 9 release, Jana Nayagan faced multiple delays due to the CBFC's certification process. The film, which stars Vijay alongside Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde, and Bobby Deol, was first screened by the CBFC examining committee in December 2025. The committee reportedly recommended several cuts to the film, suggesting it could receive a U/A certificate after revisions. Producers reportedly accepted these recommendations and resubmitted the film for approval. However, the certification process took an unexpected turn when complaints about specific scenes led to the film being referred to a revising committee. This additional scrutiny caused further delays, disrupting the film's theatrical release plans, international distribution schedules, and existing agreements. The prolonged certification process has left the production team in limbo, with no official confirmation of a new release date. Narayana, who previously shared a congratulatory message on social media following Vijay's election victory, reiterated the team's commitment to releasing the film once the certification is finalized.#vijay #cbfc #jana_nayagan #tamil_nadu #k_venkat_narayana
