The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea from the producer of the Tamil film Jana Nayagan. The producer sought clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). This decision directly impacts the release of actor Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming movie.
Court Directs Producer to Approach Madras High Court
In its ruling, the Supreme Court refused to intervene at this stage. The court specifically asked the producer, KVN Production, to present their arguments before a Division Bench of the Madras High Court. This move sends the legal battle back to the state level.
New Hearing Date Set for January 20
The Supreme Court also issued an important directive. It instructed the Madras High Court's Division Bench to hear the plea on January 20. This scheduling adds another layer to the ongoing legal process surrounding the film's certification.
This development means further delays for Jana Nayagan. Fans of Thalapathy Vijay will have to wait longer for the movie's theatrical release. The production team now faces a renewed legal hurdle before obtaining the necessary CBFC approval.
The case highlights the complex certification process for films in India. Producers often navigate multiple legal avenues to secure clearance. For now, the fate of this high-profile Tamil project rests with the Madras High Court's upcoming hearing.
