With only a few days left for its release, Jana Nayagan is creating massive buzz. The Thalapathy Vijay starrer is scheduled to release on January 9, 2026, during Pongal. This film is special for fans. It is Vijay’s last movie before he fully enters politics with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
The excitement is high across Tamil Nadu and beyond. But a sudden delay has sparked concern. The film is yet to receive its final clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification. This has raised many questions just days before release.
Jana Nayagan Makers Concerned About Film’s CBFC Certification Amid Trailer Delay
The biggest issue right now is the pending CBFC certificate. Sources close to the production say the film was screened for CBFC officials several days ago. Despite this, the makers are still waiting for approval.
A source told Deccan Herald that the team has followed up many times. There has been no response so far. What has confused the makers is that the board did not suggest any major cuts or mutes. The team even made small changes based on earlier feedback. Still, the certificate has not arrived.
Some believe the delay could be due to the New Year holidays. Others feel the reason may be deeper. Many are linking the delay to Vijay’s political entry. Fans online feel the hold-up could be an attempt to delay the release of his final film as an actor.
The delay has also impacted the trailer launch. While the audio launch was held at a grand event in Malaysia, the trailer was planned for January 3 at 6:45 PM. The uncertainty around certification has only added to the online chatter.
Jana Nayagan Plot, Vijay’s Role And Propaganda Claims
Jana Nayagan is a political action drama with Vijay in a strong lead role. Reports suggest the story follows an ordinary man who refuses to stay silent after seeing injustice. He slowly becomes the voice of the people.
Vijay plays a former police officer. He is pushed into politics against his will. As he rises, he faces pressure from all sides. His journey shows the conflict between ideals, power and responsibility.
This plot has triggered a fresh debate. Many feel the story reflects Vijay’s real-life political journey. Some critics have even called the film a promotion for TVK. These propaganda claims have added fuel to the CBFC delay discussion.
The film is also expected to be high on action. Reports say it features seven intense action sequences. This makes it one of Vijay’s most action-packed films after Leo. There are also rumours of a human versus AI angle. Some reports mention a young woman who plays a key role in shaping the leader’s path.
Jana Nayagan is set for a pan-India release on a massive scale. The Hindi version is titled Jana Neta. The cast includes Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Narayan.
There were also rumours that the film was inspired by Bhagavanth Kesari. Director H Vinoth dismissed this strongly and said that the story is original and described the film as a “100% Thalapathy” project.
