The production house of Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan moved the Supreme Court of India on Monday (January 12, 2026) against an order of stay passed by a Division Bench of the Madras High Court over the certification of the film.
KVN Productions approached the Supreme Court against a January 9 order of a High Court Division Bench, which froze the implementation of a Single Judge Bench’s nod to the issuance of U/A 16+ certificate to the film, effectively stalling its immediate release ahead of Pongal.
Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan’ producer breaks silence: We tried every possible way to release the film
The production house has arraigned the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and its Regional Officer as respondents in the case before the Supreme Court.
The Division Bench’s order came hours after the Single Judge Bench directed the CBFC to issue the censor certificate to the film reported to be Mr. Vijay’s swan song.
