Jana Nayagan Advance Booking: Censor Certificate Delaying Tamil Nadu Bookings of Vijay-starrer

Chennai, January 3 - Thalapathy Vijay's highly anticipated political action drama Jana Nayagan's advance booking has run into a hurdle in Tamil Nadu, with theatres yet to open ticket sales due to the film still awaiting its CBFC censor certificate. Directed by H. Vinoth, the movie also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Mamitha Baiju, among others. With the release date of the film drawing closer, the delay has become a major talking point among trade, with theatres reportedly in panic mode. Theatres across Tamil Nadu are holding back booking until the film receives official certification, a move taken to avoid last-minute changes or scheduling issues. As per industry reports, the CBFC is said to have suggested a few minor changes, including cuts and dialogue modifications. Until these are addressed and the censor certificate is issued, Tamil Nadu exhibitors are choosing to wait before opening bookings. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The delay has also sparked speculation on social media, especially given the film's political theme and Vijay's real-life political involvement. However, it is believed that late certification is fairly common, particularly for high-profile releases, and does not necessarily indicate a larger issue. Theatres in Tamil Nadu are going through tremendous pressure, especially single screens, as they have to slot show timings and open bookings. Anyway, some of them are planning to open bookings without a certificate online from Monday. As said, apart from Tamil Nadu, multiplexes outside the state are also finding it difficult to open bookings without a certificate as they seek clarity soon. Meanwhile, amid the delay in its home state, Jana Nayagan has already begun its booking in overseas markets as well as in Karnataka and Kerala, and the response so far has been solid, with already over 20+ crores gross for opening day. Early trends are healthy, reflecting the massive anticipation surrounding Vijay's film, which has been confirmed to be his last movie before his political entry. Stay tuned...
