In such a situation, the makers of ‘Jana Nayakan’ approached the Supreme Court challenging the interim order of the Madras High Court. But the Supreme Court has refused to hear the petition.

Today this case is being heard in Madras High Court. Regarding ‘Jana Nayakan’, it was revealed that there is something in it that hurts the sentiments of the minority community. Apart from this, there were many things in the film on which the censor had objections. In such a situation, there was a delay in giving the certificate to the film. When ‘Jana Nayakan’ did not get any support from the Censor Board, the makers approached the court. The makers of the film filed a petition in the Madras High Court on 6 January. In the petition, the makers of the film said that due to the delay in the release of ‘Jana Nayakan’, there could be a loss of about Rs 500 crore. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Madras High Court takes on this matter today i.e. on 20th January.
