With Vijay now sworn in as Tamil Nadu CM, producer K Venkat Narayana says Jana Nayagan will release as soon as it gets CBFC clearance. The film, delayed by legal and censor hurdles, was meant to be Vijay’s farewell to cinema

Still from Jana Nayagan
Actor Vijay’s film Jana Nayagan was originally scheduled to release in theatres on January 9 this year. However, the film ran into trouble over censor certification and legal hurdles, and is yet to see the light of day. The film was meant to mark Vijay’s farewell to cinema as he decided to pursue politics full-time.
Jana Nayagan to release soon?
Even as the film awaits release clearance, Vijay has now been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following the state assembly elections. In his maiden election, he secured the people’s mandate, emerging as the single largest party in the state.
