Jana Nayagan: Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Final Film Gets 'A' Certificate From CBFC

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's final movie, Jana Nayagan, has received a certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. The movie has received an 'A' certificate from the CBFC, and the details are now available on the board's official website.

The movie's runtime is 183.11 minutes, which means it is three hours, three minutes, and 11 seconds long. Reportedly, the CBFC asked the makers of Jana Nayagan to make some changes and cuts. However, the details about them are not yet known. The certificate was granted on Thursday, July 9.

Jana Nayagan Release Delay

Jana Nayagan was slated to hit the big screens on January 9, 2026, but the movie didn't receive a certificate from the CBFC, so the release was delayed. The makers went to court, but after a few weeks of legal battle against the board, they withdrew the case, and the Vijay starrer was submitted to the CBFC Revising Committee.

Now, after months of waiting, the film has finally been certified.

Jana Nayagan Leaked

In April this year, Jana Nayagan was illegally leaked, and many scenes from the movie also went viral on social media. Many South Indian celebrities like Kamal Haasan, Vijay Deverakonda, and others came out in support of the film and its makers and requested the audience not to watch the leaked version.

Reportedly, authorities identified the piracy network and arrested 19 individuals, including the alleged mastermind. Later, a cable operator was also arrested in Coimbatore for allegedly showcasing the leaked version of Jana Nayagan on television.

Jana Nayagan Release Date

While the makers of the film have not yet officially announced the release date, reportedly, Jana Nayagan will hit the big screens on July 24, 2026. An overseas distribution company named York Cinemas also took to social media to reveal that the movie is releasing on July 24.

They posted, "Finally! Our Own Thalapathy Vijay is ready to set the big screen on fire with #JanaNayagan💥 🇨🇦 Canada Release by York Cinemas 🎬 Igniting screens from July 24. Get ready for the ultimate theatrical celebration. Stay tuned for tickets (sic)."

Whenever Jana Nayagan is released, it is expected to take the box office by storm.
