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. 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 production house’s counsel had submitted before the Single Judge that around ₹500 crore had been invested in the production of the movie and it was expected to hit the silver screen worldwide on January 9, 2026. This decision had been communicated to the production house on December 22, 2025. Subsequently, the production house was informed on December 29 that the Board had decided to issue a U/A certificate.
