The legal battle surrounding Jana Nayagan reached a dramatic turn on Friday when Madras High Court Justice PT Asha directed the Central Board of Film Certification to issue a U/A 16+ certificate for Vijay's much anticipated swansong. The H Vinoth directorial, produced by KVN Productions, had been scheduled for release on January 9 but was abruptly postponed after the CBFC ordered a re-examination, triggering confusion and unrest among fans.
