Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan Clears UK Censor Amidst India's CBFC Battle

  • Thalapathy Vijay's "Jana Nayagan" secured a '15' rating from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) for its UK release.
  • The BBFC cited strong language, frequent violence, sexual activity, and drug misuse as reasons for the age restriction.
  • In India, the film faces delays from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), prompting producers to approach the Madras High Court.
  • The CBFC questioned the urgency, stating the release date was announced before certification; the High Court ordered CBFC to submit re-examination documents.
  • Other films like Sivakarthikeyan's "Parasakthi" also face CBFC delays, highlighting a broader issue in the Tamil film industry.

Why It Matters: Jana Nayagan gets UK censor approval, but its Indian release faces uncertainty and a legal battle with CBFC.
