The filmmakers have not yet received the official censor certificate. Soon after the certificate went, netizens started reacting to the changes, which triggered more confusion.
Vijay's Jana Nayagan gets 'A' certificate from Censor Board with few cuts: Sources
On Friday (June 3), it was learnt that the movie has received the CBFC clearance with an A certificate. The board have also asked to make a few cuts. However, if we talk about the release date, no official announcement has been made about the movie’s release date, but the production is reportedly considering July 24 or July 31.
The controversy around the movie started after it failed to get the clearance just a few days before the release. Following this, the makers took the legal action against the government body.
