Actor and Tamil Nadu CM Vijay’s long-delayed film Jana Nayagan is finally set to release in theatres on July 23 after an uphill battle with censorship.
Government officials told PTI that the film's makers had applied for CBFC certification in 2022 but did not accept the 127 suggested cuts and instead released the film online.
The FIR was registered in 2017 on the basis of a promotional poster. The complainant, High Court noted, had admittedly not even seen the film which was granted ‘UA’ certificate by CBFC.
During Pahlaj Nihalani's tenure as CBFC chief, a kissing scene in the James Bond film Spectre was shortened before its release in India, sparking a wider debate about censorship and creative freedom.
