Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan’ Pushed Past April 30, Says Canada Distributor

The film remains stuck at the CBFC’s revising committee after the producer withdrew its court petition.

Overview

  • Canada-based York Cinemas said the film will not release before April 30 and asked patrons to seek refunds, adding loyalty members will get priority booking when a new date is set.
  • 'Jana Nayagan' is still uncertified, with the review now before the CBFC revising committee following KVN Productions’ withdrawal of its Madras High Court writ.
  • The production team has not announced a new date, and the exhibitor’s notice does not constitute an official global schedule.
  • With Tamil Nadu Assembly elections beginning in April, outlets report a pre-election theatrical window is unlikely.
  • Exhibitors are plugging the gap with a February 20 re-release of Vijay’s 2016 hit 'Theri,' while one trade analyst estimated potential losses near ₹100 crore due to the prolonged delay.
