Vijay’s farewell film “Jana Nayagan” is reported to have received clearance from India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after months of delays and legal disputes. Multiple reports say the film had been submitted for certification in December 2025 and initially faced certification issues even after the censor review process was reportedly completed late last year. According to NDTV sources, the CBFC asks for final revisions before issuing the certificate, and the production is considering release dates around July 24 or July 31, with some reports citing a July 23 target. Times of India reports that the film receives an “A” certificate after a prolonged censorship process that included legal challenges, certification delays, and piracy leaks before clearance. Times of India also notes that a producer statement denies the circulation of “fake censor certificates” online and says the CBFC requested final changes. A separate NDTV report says the CBFC changes include deletion of some footage and replacement of other segments, citing a total of CBFC revisions ahead of the final certificate. The film is directed by H Vinoth and is expected to release in theatres in late July.
