On Sunday, Ahmisa Entertainment made an other post which said, “THE HONOURABLE CHIEF MINISTER OF TAMIL NADU. C JOSEPH VIJAY. #JanaNayagan in UK cinemas July 24 — uncut, 15-rated. All the action, all the mass, all the Thalapathy craze, exactly as it was meant to be seen. One last time.”
The Jana Nayagan controversy
Jana Nayagan is Vijay’s last film after he embraced politics full time and became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. The film was originally scheduled for release in January around Pongal; however, certification issues caused delays. After a seven-month-long battle, the film is finally releasing with an A certification. Last week, KVN Productions’ business head told SCREEN that Jana Nayagan had been cleared by the CBFC with an A certificate and added, “We’ll be releasing the movie worldwide on July 24.” Unfortunately, a few months back, Jana Nayagan’s unfinished version was leaked online.

During the film’s delay, Vijay contested for the Tamil Nadu State Assembly Elections and was also sworn in as the state’s Chief Minister. In March, during one of his election rallies, Vijay had spoken about Jana Nayagan’s delay and said, “During the release of the film Jana Nayagan, many people raised their voices in support. Even our Chief Minister voiced his support. I thank them for that. Chief Minister, you may try to silence me, but you cannot silence every Vijay in every household.”
Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani in important roles.
