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

Vijay's Final Film Jana Nayagan Faces New Hurdle as Election Commission Steps In Vijay’s upcoming film Jana Nayagan, a political action thriller with “relevant political content” as per the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), is now at a critical juncture as the Election Commission of India (ECI) weighs its fate. The film, which marks Vijay’s last project before he fully transitions into politics, has navigated one challenge only to encounter another, highlighting the complex interplay between cinema and electoral processes in India. The film’s certification battle has been prolonged, with the ECI now stepping in to determine its release timing. Tamil Nadu Chief Electoral Officer Archana Patnaik addressed media inquiries, clarifying that the ECI is examining the matter as a “new situation.” She emphasized that a final decision would follow consultations, underscoring the unprecedented legal and regulatory crossroads the case has reached. At the heart of the issue is Vijay’s dual role as both a film star and a political leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, which is set to contest the April 23 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The film’s protagonist, a political figure, mirrors Vijay’s real-world position, raising questions about its potential influence during the election period. Patnaik noted that the Election Commission would assess whether the film requires approval under the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), which is currently in effect across Tamil Nadu. The MCC, enforced since March 15, restricts political campaigning until May 4, the day after polling concludes. This has created a dilemma for the film’s producers, KVN Productions, who had initially planned a January 9 release for the Pongal season.#vijay #jana_nayagan #tamil_nadu #election_commission_of_india #tamilaga_vettri_kazhagam

TVK chief Vijay rules out alliances, says ‘no compromise on secular social justice principles’ The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party chief, Vijay, has dismissed rumors about his party joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Speaking at an iftar event organized by the party in Mamallapuram, 60 kilometers south of Chennai, Vijay emphasized that his party remains committed to its principles of secular social justice and will not align with any alliance. Vijay addressed persistent rumors that his party was associated with other political groups, stating that such claims were baseless. He clarified, “Rumours were being spread that we were part of this team and that team. There is no such team. We belong only to the people’s team.” He further noted that attempts to discredit the party through false narratives had failed, and the recent claims of an alliance were part of a deliberate campaign to undermine their credibility. The leader reiterated his party’s stance on maintaining secular values and social justice, asserting that there is “no room for compromise in our politics.” Vijay also expressed confidence in the party’s ability to lead the state government if voted into power, stating, “With the blessing of God, we will achieve our target.” This declaration comes amid ongoing discussions about the political landscape in Tamil Nadu, where TVK is positioning itself as a key player. The party’s focus on secularism and social justice has been a central theme in its campaign, distinguishing it from other regional parties. Vijay’s remarks underscore his determination to uphold these principles despite external pressures and misinformation.#vijay #tamil_nadu #national_democratic_alliance #tvk #mamallapuram

Actor Vijay Rejects BJP's 90 Seats Offer for Tamil Nadu Election Aadhav Arjuna, leader of the Tamil Nadu-based TVK party, claimed that Vijay, the actor-turned-politician, was offered a significant share of seats and the Deputy Chief Minister post by an unidentified political party ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. However, Vijay has publicly stated his refusal to align with any party, emphasizing his commitment to contesting the election independently. Arjuna did not specify which party made the offer, though his remarks about Vijay "not succumbing to Delhi for the Chief Minister's post" have been interpreted by some as a reference to the BJP. The TVK General Secretary confirmed that the party sought a seat-sharing agreement with Vijay but noted that the actor rejected the proposal. "Vijay is not the kind of person who will succumb to Delhi for the sake of the Chief Minister's post," Arjuna said at a party meeting in Kolathur. "They gave us all kinds of offers—ranging from 50 to 90 seats—but Vijay insisted on the trust of the people, not the post." Sources within the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) confirmed that talks between Vijay and the party were ongoing. According to these sources, the BJP had proposed Vijay the Deputy Chief Minister position along with 55 seats. However, not all within the NDA supported the offer, with some members expressing reservations about the terms. The BJP’s goal is to counter the DMK, which is allied with the Congress, and prevent it from securing a fourth consecutive victory in the state. The AIADMK, the other major Dravidian party in Tamil Nadu, has openly opposed any alliance with Vijay. Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the AIADMK leader, denied involvement in talks with TVK, citing concerns about losing influence to Vijay.#bjp #vijay #aiadmk #dmk #tvk

BJP Urges Tamil Nadu Congress Leader Vijay to Join NDA Alliance Ahead of Assembly Polls The BJP has called on Tamil Nadu Congress Party (Tavak) leader Vijay to join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to counter the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. In a statement, BJP spokesperson ANS Prasad emphasized the need for a united front against the DMK, stating that Vijay’s participation in the NDA is crucial for safeguarding democratic principles and ensuring a stable political landscape. Prasad argued that Vijay’s commitment to opposing the DMK aligns with the broader interests of Tamil Nadu’s citizens. He warned that if Vijay’s party fails to collaborate with the NDA, it could face challenges in maintaining its relevance post-elections. The statement highlighted the importance of pragmatic alliances to address the state’s developmental needs and prevent political instability. Vijay, a prominent leader of the Tavak, has previously expressed his dedication to countering the DMK’s influence. However, the BJP’s appeal underscores growing pressure on him to formalize ties with the NDA, which currently includes the BJP, the Bharatiya Janata Party, and other regional parties. The call comes amid heightened competition in Tamil Nadu’s political arena, where the DMK remains a dominant force. The BJP’s move is seen as an attempt to consolidate opposition strength ahead of the polls, which are expected to be a key test for the ruling AIADMK and the DMK. Analysts suggest that Vijay’s alignment with the NDA could reshape the electoral dynamics, particularly in constituencies where the Tavak and DMK have overlapping support bases.#bjp #vijay #tamil_nadu_congress #ndaa #dmk

Jana Nayagan Censor Row: Vijay’s Film Faces New Delay in Revising Committee Screening Vijay’s much-anticipated final film, Jana Nayagan, has encountered another obstacle as its review by the Revising Committee was postponed due to a committee member’s illness. Originally scheduled for March 9, the screening was canceled at the last minute, leaving the film’s certification and release date uncertain. This delay follows earlier controversies over the depiction of religious practices and the use of army symbols in the film. The film, starring Vijay, has remained in the news due to ongoing censorship issues. Concerns about specific scenes led to objections, and the film was expected to be reviewed by the Central Board of Film Certification’s Revising Committee on March 9. Fans and industry insiders had hoped the review would resolve the certification status and pave the way for the film’s theatrical release. However, the sudden cancellation of the screening has disappointed fans, who had anticipated a swift resolution. The delay in the review process has added to the uncertainty surrounding the film’s release. Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan holds special significance as Vijay has announced it as his final film before focusing on politics through his party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam. The film features a star-studded cast, including Mamitha Baiju, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Pooja Hegde, and Narain. Originally set for a January 9 release, the film’s release has been postponed indefinitely due to the pending certification. The censorship issues began when Jana Nayagan was first reviewed by the Central Board of Film Certification in December 2025. The board reportedly requested changes, but an ex-member of the original committee filed a complaint.#vijay #revising_committee #central_board_of_film_certification #tamizhaga_vetri_kazhagam #h_vinoth

Vijay Accuses DMK and AIADMK of Secret Power-Sharing Pact in Tamil Nadu Politics Vijay, founder of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and actor, launched a veiled attack on the Dravidian major parties, accusing the DMK and AIADMK of secretly colluding to alternate power and prevent him from gaining authority. Speaking at a party functionaries’ meet in Sengipatti near Thanjavur, he claimed the two parties had struck a deal to ensure one remained in power, thereby “cheating the people.” While not naming the parties explicitly, he alleged they had conspired to thwart his political rise, despite appearing to be at odds publicly. Vijay criticized the DMK government, calling it a “fraudulent” entity that failed to deliver on its 2021 election promises, including the abolition of NEET. He argued that claims of the DMK being a “protector of Tamil Nadu” and “saviour of minorities” were no longer credible, noting that even children had begun to view the party as an “evil force.” He also accused the DMK of failing to support farmers, instead aligning with the sand mafia to exploit the state’s natural resources. Highlighting his party’s promises, Vijay outlined plans to waive cooperative crop loans for farmers with landholdings up to five acres, with a 50% waiver considered for those owning more than five acres. He pledged to cover educational expenses for the children of farmers with up to two acres of land and landless laborers. Additionally, he assured the safety of fishermen and vowed to address farmers’ issues without compromising their interests, even if it meant defying the Union government. Vijay framed the upcoming Assembly election as an “emotion” for Tamil Nadu, dismissing claims by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin that he would return to power.#vijay #aiadmk #dmk #tamil_nadu #tamil_naga_vettri_kazhagam
