CHENNAI: The suspense surrounding the release of actor Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is set to end at 10.30 am on January 27, with the Madras High Court scheduled to pronounce its verdict on the case relating to the film’s censor certificate, court sources said. With this development, it is clear that the film is missing a Republic Day release window, as well.

On January 9, the division bench of the Madras High Court stayed a single judge's order directing the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to immediately grant a censor certificate to 'Jana Nayagan', leaving the fate of actor-turned-politician Vijay's film.
Vijay launched his political party in 2024, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). 'Jana Nayagan' which is widely publicised as Vijay's final film before his full-fledged entry into politics, was slated for a Pongal release on January 9.
However, the film ran into last-minute hurdles after the CBFC did not issue certification on time.
