Vijay's 'Jananayagan' Release Uncertain: Madras HC Reserves Order on Censor Certificate Plea

On this Special Report, the focus is on the uncertainty surrounding the release of actor Vijay's film 'Jananayagan'. The Madras High Court has reserved its order on the makers' plea against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) delay. Reporter Anagha Keshav explains that despite the makers accepting 27 cuts, the CBFC demands a second review, citing scenes that 'hurt the religious sentiments' and the unauthorized use of defence force emblems. With the film slated for release on January 9, the delay threatens to stall the premiere. The programme details the legal arguments and the CBFC's two-tier review process.
