Jana Nayagan Screenings in Chennai Halted Over Minors Attending A-Rated Shows
Screenings of Vijay's A-certified film Jana Nayagan in Chennai were halted, delayed, or cancelled after children were found attending the adult-only shows. Incidents occurred at multiple theatres, including PVR Cinemas at Ampa Mall and Grand Mall, where police and theatre staff intervened to enforce age restrictions. Audience members reported long pauses and refunds during these disruptions. The film contains intense scenes, prompting strict adherence to certification rules. Online reactions largely blamed parents for bringing minors to the screenings.
