H Vinoth’s film Jana Nayagan finally releases after a 7-month delay. While many pointed fingers at the CBFC, the director now cryptically suggests there were deeper, unrevealed reasons behind the prolonged hold-up, hinting at a more complex situation than initially perceived.
CBFC’s Role in Initial Delays
H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan is finally hitting screens after a 7-month delay. While many blamed the CBFC, the director claims there’s more at play.
H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay in the lead role, is finally hitting screens after a 7-month-long delay. The film was stuck with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) since December last year and could not make it to the intended January release date for Pongal. While the certification board faced most of the flak for it, the filmmaker hints that there might be more at play.
H Vinoth’s Cryptic ‘Other Reasons’
However, when they returned with the updated version, they were asked to make a few more changes. Again, the team agreed. But when they tried to upload the revised version on the online portal, they couldn’t access it. They informed the CBFC about it through phone calls, email and communication to the head office. It is only later that they learned that the film was sent to the revision committee. These are events that the film’s team had relayed to the courts, too, where they didn’t receive relief.
He further claimed that their repeated attempts to gain clarity failed.
Legal Battles and Unanswered Questions
This is not the first time that Vinoth has insinuated such a thing, because in May, during the promotions of Pandiraaj’s Parimala & Co, he was asked about the film’s release.
Jana Nayagan stars Vijay, Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol in lead roles. It was released in theatres on July 23.
Ultimately, H Vinoth’s statements leave the true cause of Jana Nayagan’s extensive delay shrouded in mystery. Despite legal battles and public speculation, the director maintains that unseen forces were at play, refusing to disclose specifics without concrete evidence.
