Chennai: The release of Thalapathy Vijay's much-awaited film Jana Nayagan has remained uncertain. It was earlier speculated that the film would be released after Vijay entered politics and became Chief Minister, but there has been no official update so far.
The film was initially expected to hit theatres earlier this year. However, it reportedly faced delays due to certification issues, resulting in repeated postponements. During this period, portions of the film were also leaked online, creating significant buzz.
Amid these challenges, reports now suggest that the film could finally be released within the next few days. According to sources, Jana Nayagan is likely to hit theatres in July.
According to a report by Lets Cinema, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has re-examined the film and granted it an 'A' certificate. The makers are reportedly planning a July release.
However, the production team is yet to make an official announcement regarding the certification or release date.
If the film is released in July, it could face competition at the Kollywood box office from Sigma, the directorial debut of Vijay's son, and DC, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan stars Thalapathy Vijay, Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, and Gautham Vasudev Menon in key roles.
The film is widely expected to be Vijay's final movie before his full-fledged entry into politics. It was originally expected to release before his political transition.
