Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan was set to release in January, but was delayed after CBFC did not certify it in time. It was later leaked online.

C Joseph Vijay was sworn in as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister earlier this month in a ceremony attended by his family and hundreds of supporters. However, Vijay’s last film as an actor, Jana Nayagan, has been in limbo for five months. The H Vinoth directorial has been stuck with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after it was sent to the revising committee days before its intended January release. On Saturday, Lohith NK met CM Vijay to congratulate him. However, fans were more interested in getting an update about the film.

In the picture shared by Lohith NK on his X account, he was seen presenting a bouquet of flowers to Vijay. In the caption, he wrote, “Vijay anna has always been someone I’ve admired deeply and every time I meet him, the warmth, affection and simplicity remain exactly the same.”

He added, “Had memorable moments to cherish (red heart emoticon). Wishing & hoping he continues to create a great impact.”

In the comments sections, fans asked to give an update on the release date of Jana Nayagan. One commented, “Jananayagan release date update sir!” Another said, “Waiting for the release of Jana Nayagan.” A comment read, “Announce #JanaNayagan release date asap sir.”

Meanwhile, the producer of Jana Nayagan, Venkat K Narayana of KVN Productions, spoke to the press after he was spotted at a temple on Friday evening. “This is not the place to talk about Jana Nayagan. I came for temple darshan. But as I told, we’re waiting for certificate to come. I am sure that they’re going to give it anytime soon. We’ll release at the earliest. This is not the place to talk about anything else, thank you. I came here to take God’s blessings. Release date will be (announced) as soon as we get censor certificate. We’ll announce it well in advance once the censor certificate is in our hands. And we’ll release it in a grand way throughout the world,” said the producer.
