Jana Nayagan is likely to skip its January 9 release date as CBFC certification remains pending. Judicial proceedings are underway with a verdict expected on January 9. This would be the second postponement for Thalapathy Vijay’s final film after it was earlier pushed from Diwali 2025 to Pongal 2026.
