Last-minute hurdle for Vijay’s swansong

Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan has run into fresh trouble just ahead of its scheduled release on January 9. The Central Board of Film Certification has informed the Madras High Court that the film will undergo another review, this time by a newly appointed panel, as the censor certificate remains pending.

The development comes weeks after the film was submitted for certification and has placed the production team under pressure with only days to spare.
