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.
The Madras High Court has reserved its decision on a plea seeking a UA-16+ censor certificate for Vijay’s film Jana Nayagan, after hearing a petition filed by KVN Productions LLP, the movie’s producers before passing the final order soon.
The producers of Vijay’s final film Jana Nayagan have approached the Madras High Court after the Central Board of Film Certification referred the film to a Revising Committee despite earlier clearance.
The makers claim the last-minute move threatens the film’s scheduled release and could cause massive financial losses.
Today, On 12th December, The Supreme Court has refused to modify its earlier order suspending the Enquiry Commission probing the Karur stampede case. The Court said the suspension will continue as directed, rejecting calls for reconsideration and stressing judicial consistency and fairness.
Actor Vijay’s party TVK has challenged the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls in the Supreme Court, calling it unconstitutional and arbitrary. The case is set to trigger a high-voltage political and legal battle in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil actor and TVK chief Vijay broke his silence on the Karur stampede, attacking CM MK Stalin for “peddling lies” and questioning the Madras High Court’s SIT order citing Supreme Court’s remarks. He said the 2026 polls would be a direct fight between “TVK and DMK.”
Supreme Court directs Karur Stampede victims’ families to approach the CBI over alleged political pressure to withdraw petitions. The bench stressed transparency and fairness in the probe, saying independent investigation is vital to protect public trust.
The CBI has taken charge of the Karur stampede investigation that claimed 41 lives during Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam rally. The Supreme Court has ordered an impartial probe under a panel led by ex-Justice Ajay Rastogi.
A BJP leader from Tamil Nadu has approached the Supreme Court, seeking a CBI investigation into the September 27 Karur stampede at a TVK rally that killed 41 and injured over 60. The plea also requests higher compensation from the state and TVK leadership.
