Jana Nayagan Release Row: Amazon Prime Threatens Legal Action Amid Censor Board Chaos

• KVN Productions, makers of 'Jana Nayagan', informed Madras High Court about Amazon Prime Video's threat of legal action due to release date uncertainty.
• The film, believed to be actor Vijay’s farewell movie, faced delays as it awaited censor certification, with no communication from CBFC for an extended period.
• Producers were asked to reinsert previously removed scenes before sending the film to the revising committee, a step they called an "empty exercise."
• CBFC questioned the announcement of a January 9 release date without certification, while makers cited industry common practice.
• Madras High Court has reserved its order, leaving the release of 'Jana Nayagan' on hold amidst concerns over religious sentiments and Army references.

Why It Matters: Jana Nayagan's release is stalled due to censor board issues and Amazon Prime's legal threats.
