Thalapathy Vijay Jana Nayagan Shatters Global Booking Records Amid India Censor Delay
Thalapathy Vijay Jana Nayagan has taken the global box office by storm even before its official release, rewriting advance booking records across international markets. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker H. Vinoth, the action-political drama has emerged as one of the most anticipated Tamil films of the year. While overseas markets are celebrating historic ticket sales, the film’s India release—especially in Tamil Nadu—faces uncertainty due to a pending CBFC certification delay.
Despite these hurdles, Jana Nayagan’s pre-release momentum highlights Vijay’s unmatched stardom and global fanbase.

Reason Behind the Delay
The Tamil Nadu release of Thalapathy Vijay Jana Nayagan is currently awaiting CBFC clearance. The film was reportedly submitted for certification on December 18, but objections were raised regarding:
- Religious representations
- Portrayal of the Indian Army
- Political themes
These concerns have led to a delay in certification, causing uncertainty just days before release.
Producers Approach Madras High Court
In response, the film’s producers have moved the Madras High Court, seeking immediate intervention. A hearing is scheduled for today at 2:15 PM IST, which could play a decisive role in determining whether the film releases as planned in Tamil Nadu.
Star-Studded Cast and Political Narrative
Powerful Ensemble Cast
Apart from Vijay in the lead role, Jana Nayagan features a strong supporting cast:
- Pooja Hegde
- Bobby Deol
- Gautham Vasudev Menon
Each actor reportedly plays a pivotal role in shaping the film’s intense political and action-driven narrative.
H. Vinoth’s Signature Storytelling
Director H. Vinoth, known for his socially relevant and hard-hitting cinema, brings a politically charged storyline that blends action with ideology. Trade experts believe this thematic depth is one reason behind the film’s massive anticipation.
Box Office Clash With Prabhas’ The Raja Saab
Adding to the high-stakes atmosphere, Jana Nayagan is set to clash with Prabhas’ The Raja Saab on January 9. This pan-India clash is expected to intensify competition across screens, especially in overseas markets.
Despite the clash, early indicators suggest Jana Nayagan holds a strong edge in Tamil-dominated territories and among Vijay’s loyal fanbase worldwide.
What Lies Ahead for Jana Nayagan
