Jana Nayagan vs CBFC: Thalapathy Vijay starrer has run into a last-minute hurdle as it is still awaiting a censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India. However, this didn't stop the censor board in the United Kingdom from issuing a censor certificate in the country. Yes, while the Madras High Court is sorting out the censor certificate situation in India, the UK's British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has cleared the film for release with a 15 rating.

KVN Productions approached the court, alleging that the CBFC is withholding the film certificate unreasonably, which will lead to financial losses for the makers. As per Live Law, the advocate shared, "the regional office verified the modifications and on December 29, informed that the movie would be given a 'UA' certificate. However, it was submitted that even after this communication, the certificate had not been issued to date."

After hearing the matter, the Madras High Court has directed the CBFC to come back with a reply.
