A still from ‘Jana Nayagan’. File | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement The Madras High Court on Thursday (July 2, 2026) refused to grant bail to two of the 21 accused in Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan leak case, after being told by the prosecution that as many as 1.2 crore people had watched the movie online even before it could be certified for public exhibition by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and released officially. Justice C. Kumarappan dismissed the bail petitions filed by the fourth accused S. Rajini and 11th accused Jayaprakash after taking note of the serious charge that the first petitioner’s brother, who was a freelance film editor and the prime accused in the case, had stolen the movie clips in a hard drive from an edit suite and thereafter, the movie had been uploaded in full to Google drive. A government counsel told the court that the prime accused and two of his brothers were instrumental in clubbing all the disjointed movie clips into one before uploading them …

Talking to SCREEN, Mohan Suprith, business head of KVN Productions confirmed, “While we are still in talks, we have decided to refund the money to the film distributors.

The CBFC’s regional panel initially recommended a UA 16+ certificate for the film, but the final clearance has been stalled. KVN Productions had approached the Madras High Court seeking to expedite the certification process during the release time. …

Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan was left in the lurch when just a few days before its release, the makers had to postpone what is being touted as the superstar’s last film before he starts a full-fledged political career. Jana Nayagan was postponed as the film failed to secure the requisite censor certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

As per the report, the Supreme Court asked the Madras HC to decide the plea on January 20 after the producers’ lawyer, advocate Mukul Rohatgi, claimed that a film is a “perishable item” and would cause “serious injury” if matter is delayed any further.

With the Jana Nayagan vs Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) battle continuing unabated, social media is abuzz with discussions on film censorship and the extent of power such statutory bodies must possess and can exercise. Now, veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, known for not mincing words when commenting on virtually anything, has chimed in, sharing his views on the topic. Maintaining that the “censor board is outdated,” Varma pointed out that in the current digital era, when people can tune into anything irrespective of their age, censorship is pointless. He went one step further and stated that censorship “insults the viewers.” Mentioning that his post pertains not just to the ongoing Jana Nayagan controversy but to censorship as a whole, the director began by stating that it’s “foolish” to think the censor board is still relevant today. He also blamed the film industry for allowing the CBFC to exist for so long. In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “It (CBFC) has long outlived its purpose, but it’s being kept alive …
