CBFC Requests Modifications to Ambedkar and TVK References in Jana Nayagan Film
The producer of the film Jana Nayagan, K Venkata Narayana, explained that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) required modifications to a dialogue referencing BR Ambedkar and the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party. The original line implied that ignoring Ambedkar's Constitution would lead to TVK's constitution taking effect. Additionally, the CBFC asked for changes to a book cover featuring Ambedkar's image and the muting of certain religious terms. The producer stated they complied with the CBFC's requests after a seven-month certification process.
