Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan, which is being billed as his final film before stepping into politics, is yet to hit the big screens. The film was initially slated for release on January 9, but ran into trouble during the censor process after the CBFC suggested certain changes.
After this, the makers approached the court, and the matter was under consideration. In a significant development on Tuesday, February 10, the Jana Nayagan team filed an application to withdraw their case against the CBFC.
During the hearing before Justice PT Asha, the makers told the court that they would now approach the CBFC's revising committee instead. After the court allowed them to withdraw the case, the matter has now moved back to the revising committee for additional review.
Jana Nayagan: The road ahead for Vijay's film
As per the latest update, Jana Nayagan will be reviewed by the CBFC's revising committee, after which the film is expected to receive its censor certificate. Once the film receives clearance from the censor board, the release date will be finalised.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that the film could be released around Holi. However, India TV has not independently verified this information.
