Thalapathy Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' faced a release delay due to a censor certification row. The Madras High Court initially directed the CBFC to issue a UA certificate, deeming a complaint against the film an 'afterthought' and the chairperson's review referral 'without jurisdiction.' However, the CBFC appealed this order, leading a division bench to stay the certification and schedule a further hearing for January 21, postponing the film's Pongal release. The legal battle continues, impacting advance bookings and causing significant financial losses.
