Jana Nayagan vs CBFC: Vijay's final film faces further delay

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Vijay's film was hit with another roadblock when the Madras High Court allowed an appeal by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), setting aside the earlier order that had gone in the favour of the producers.

The court overturned the single judge’s earlier direction that ordered the CBFC to grant the film a U/A 16+ certificate. The bench of Chief Justice M M Shrivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan has said the single judge, Justice P T Asha, should have given time to CBFC for filing a counter affidavit.
