Thalapathy Vijay’s final film Jana Nayagan missed its January 9 release date after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) failed to issue a certificate. The matter is currently being heard at the Madras High Court. On January 9, a two-judge bench reserved its earlier order directing the CBFC to issue the certificate and scheduled the next hearing for January 21. The role of the CBFC and the challenges faced by filmmakers have once again come under discussion.
