‘Jana Nayagan’ gets CBFC nod after long delay, official says
The film 'Jana Nayagan', starring Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, is set to receive its CBFC certification after months of legal delays and a high-profile leak. The film's release was previously stalled due to private complaints and legal disputes involving the production house.
Why it matters
The intersection of cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu is highlighted by the lead actor's transition from film star to Chief Minister, making the film's release a matter of public and political interest.
The film Jana Nayagan , starring Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has been examined by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), and a certificate for the film is likely to be issued within two or three days, a senior official told The Hindu . The film, Mr. Vijay’s last as an actor, was held up at the CBFC since January in the run up to the Tamil Nadu Assembly election earlier this year.
The report objectively covers the legal and administrative hurdles faced by the film without taking a stance on the political figures involved.
