Jana Nayagan CBFC revising committee screening postponed
The CBFC’s Revising Committee screening of the Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan had to be postponed after one of its members fell ill.
The screening, which had been scheduled for 2 PM, was seen as a decisive step that could finally clear the path for the film’s theatrical release.
According to reports, the producers, KVN Productions, had received an official email from the CBFC Revising Committee confirming the March 9 screening.
Had it gone ahead without issue, certification was expected to be granted shortly after, allowing the team to finalise a release date. That plan now stands deferred, with no immediate word on when the screening will be rescheduled.
However, sources from the industry told SCREEN that the date for the screening is pushed to March 17.
To understand why this matters, it helps to go back to the beginning. KVN Productions submitted the film to the CBFC on December 18, 2025.
Four days later, the examining committee suggested a UA 16+ certificate with 14 cuts and modifications. After implementing those changes, the producers expected a certificate.
Instead, they were informed on January 5, just four days before the film’s planned Pongal release, that the film had been referred to the Revising Committee following a complaint from a single member of the examining committee.
