The CBFC has filed a caveat in the Supreme Court in the Jana Nayagan release case, asking that no order be passed without hearing it. The move follows the Madras High Court’s decision to flag concerns over references to the Army and religious sentiments in the film.
Today, On 27th January, A Division Bench of the Madras High Court allowed the CBFC’s appeal and set aside the single judge’s order directing censor clearance for Vijay’s film Jana Nayagan. The court sent the CBFC dispute back for fresh reconsideration today.
The Supreme Court of India will hear on January 19 the plea filed by the producer of Jana Nayagan against the Madras High Court’s interim stay on CBFC clearance. The case has put on hold the Pongal release of Vijay’s politically significant film.
