The much-awaited film Jana Nayagan, widely expected to be Vijay’s final big-screen appearance before fully stepping into politics, has reportedly encountered another hurdle. Initially planned for a grand theatrical release on January 9, 2026, the film now faces uncertainty due to fresh delays.
Fans eagerly anticipating the superstar’s last cinematic outing are left in suspense as the project remains stuck in a crucial stage. Reports suggest that the delay is linked to pending certification formalities with the Central Board of Film Certification.
According to industry sources, the revising committee responsible for reviewing the film has not yet begun its process. Additionally, the newly formed panel has reportedly neither initiated re-censoring proceedings nor issued any official communication to the production house, KVN Productions.
Without CBFC certification, the makers are unable to finalise a release date or move ahead with distribution plans. This lack of clarity has sparked speculation within the industry, leaving both fans and stakeholders unsure about the film’s theatrical future.
Amid ongoing delays, a fresh update from industry tracker Valai Pechu suggests that the team may be exploring a new release window. If certification is completed in time, the H. Vinoth directorial could potentially arrive in cinemas in June 2026.
The tentative date being discussed is Thursday, June 18. The timing appears strategic, as it falls just ahead of Vijay’s birthday and coincides with the Muharram long weekend — a combination that could provide a significant boost at the box office.
However, these developments remain speculative for now.
Despite mounting buzz around a possible June release, the makers have yet to issue an official statement. Reports indicate that internal discussions are ongoing, with June currently emerging as the most viable option — provided certification hurdles are cleared soon.
Until then, Jana Nayagan remains in limbo.
For fans, the wait continues as they look forward to what is being seen as Vijay’s final cinematic chapter before he transitions fully into public life.
Whether the film arrives in June or faces further delays, one thing is certain — anticipation around Jana Nayagan remains sky-high.
