Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film Jana Nayagan has been making headlines not just for being his final cinematic outing but also due to the uncertainty surrounding its release. While fans eagerly await clarity an unexpected voice has now entered the conversation. Actor and Member of Parliament Ravi Kishan has spoken out on the issue and offered his support adding a fresh angle to the ongoing CBFC controversy. Why Jana Nayagan’s release hit a roadblock? Jana Nayagan was originally slated for a worldwide theatrical release on January 9. However the film ran into certification hurdles when it failed to receive timely clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification. Matters escalated after the Madras High Court recently set aside a single judge’s earlier directive that had asked the CBFC to issue a certificate. This legal development further delayed the film leaving the makers in a difficult position as they continue to seek a clear release window. What did Ravi Kishan say? During a recent interaction Ravi Kishan reacted to the situation and expressed surprise at hearing about the issue. He said “I am hearing about this from you. Otherwise I have not received any complaints. But being a parliamentarian cinema people can approach me directly. They can write to me or call me. If any film is stuck I can definitely call the censor board.” His statement quickly caught attention especially as Jana Nayagan is being closely watched due to Vijay’s political entry.
