The Madras High Court will pronounce its verdict on January 27 on CBFC’s appeal challenging the order granting a U/A 16+ certificate to Vijay’s Jana Nayagan. The case raises key questions on CBFC Chairman’s powers and procedural fairness in film certification.
Today, on 15th January 2026, Supreme Court refused to interfere in a producer’s plea over delayed film certification, despite senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi’s submissions. He alleged CBFC acted mala fide, claiming release plans across 5,000 theatres while certification with ten cuts was promised earlier.
