Jana Nayagan Release Row: CBFC says cuts asked for Vijay’s film are not final; claims they didn’t have time to complete review
Thalapathy Vijay’s much-awaited film Jana Nayagan has landed in controversy ahead of its release, after reports surfaced claiming that the CBFC had demanded multiple cuts, putting the film’s release plans in doubt. However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now clarified its stand, stating that the suggested cuts are not final.
What did the CBFC say?
According to CBFC officials, the film’s certification process is still underway and no final decision has been communicated to the makers yet. The board has reportedly stated that they did not get sufficient time to complete a detailed examination of the film, which led to confusion and speculation.
The CBFC emphasized that:
- The observations currently doing the rounds are preliminary
- No official list of cuts has been finalized
- Discussions with the filmmakers are still pending
Why did the controversy start?
Speculation erupted after reports suggested that Jana Nayagan might face:
- Scene trims
- Dialogue modifications
- Possible changes related to political or sensitive content
This led fans to fear a delay in the film’s release, especially given Vijay’s massive fan following and the film’s high expectations.
Makers yet to issue an official statement
So far, the Jana Nayagan team has not released a detailed public response, but sources indicate that the producers are in active communication with the CBFC to resolve the matter smoothly and ensure a timely release.
What does this mean for the release?
As of now:
- Jana Nayagan is not banned
- Certification is still in progress
- The release date remains unchanged unless officially announced otherwise
Fans are being advised to wait for a formal update from either the CBFC or the film’s makers instead of relying on rumours.
Final word
The Jana Nayagan certification row appears to be a case of miscommunication rather than censorship. With the CBFC clarifying that the cuts are not final, hopes remain high that Vijay’s film will clear certification without major hurdles.
