Jana Nayagan Release Date: TN CM Vijay's Film To Be Further Delayed Over Censor Issue

It looks like the delay is never ending for the release of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's Jana Nayagan as it is hit by a fresh roadblock. Now, the movie is unlikely to release for the actor-turned-politician's birthday/

As per the reports, the project has been delayed indefinitely due to censor certification and distribution hurdles, crushing expectations of a June opening for the much-awaited political drama.

It was earlier reported that the Jana Nayagan release date would be 18 June, timed with Thalapathy Vijay’s birthday (June 22). Several ticketing platforms, including BookMyShow, briefly displayed 18 June as the planned theatre rollout. That tentative listing fuelled strong buzz among fans across Tamil Nadu and other key markets.
