Sudha Kongara Condemns CBFC Delay That Stalled Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan

The director says last-minute certification decisions disrupt releases.

Overview

  • Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan was postponed just days before its planned opening, reportedly over CBFC issues.
  • Sudha Kongara criticized the holdup as unfair to films, saying the censor “holds you back” and that such delays should not occur.
  • Her film Parasakthi released on January 10 after receiving certification at the eleventh hour, averting a planned same-day clash with Jana Nayagan.
  • Mid-day reported the CBFC allegedly cleared Parasakthi only after around 25 cuts, a claim that has not been independently confirmed.
  • There is no official new release date for Jana Nayagan, and Kongara said she is a longtime Vijay admirer who once planned a film with him.
