India, Jan. 23 -- Actor-turned politician Vijay's farewell film, Jana Nayagan, originally scheduled for a January 9 theatrical release, remains stuck in a legal dispute with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). With the Madras High Court reserving orders in the ongoing case, the film has officially missed the lucrative Republic Day, January 26, window too. On Tuesday, the Madras High Court heard arguments from both the CBFC and the makers, eventually reserving its order without specifying a date for the verdict. Many, including the producers, had anticipated an early pronouncement this week, hoping to capitalise on the Republic Day holiday. With the case not listed at the Madras High Court for tomorrow, all eyes are now on the next possible hearing date, which is January 27. The delay has left the makers in limbo. During the hearing, KVN Productions highlighted the massive financial risk, citing an investment of Rs 500 crore. They further revealed that Amazon Prime Video had threatened legal action on December 31, 2025 due to the continued uncertainty surrounding the film's release date. Now that a Republic Day release is off the table, the makers are eyeing February 6 or 13, a window with no major releases scheduled. However, with the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections likely to be announced in the third week of February, the film faces urgency. Once the Model Code of Conduct comes into force, Jana Nayagan could face scrutiny due to Vijay's political involvement, making an early February release crucial.HTC...
