Jana Nayagan vs. Parasakthi: Before Pongal's release, Vijay and Sivakarthikeyan's films are awaiting a censorship certificate
New DelhiTwo of the most anticipated Tamil films are in doubt just days before Pongal. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has not yet issued censorship certificates for Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi and Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. Fans, theaters, and distributors are waiting for clarification before the holiday weekend due to the delay.
The release date of Jana Nayagan is set for January 9. Parasakthi was originally scheduled to arrive on January 14, but it has been rescheduled for January 10, a day later. Both movies are still awaiting clearance, and Pongal has very little time left. The Madras High Court has been petitioned by the producers of Jana Nayagan regarding the delay. The court has reserved its order in this case as of the most recent update.

Why fans care about Jana Nayagan
Because Jana Nayagan is marketed as Vijay's last movie as an actor before he enters politics full-time, it has particular significance. Large audiences typically attend his releases, particularly during festival seasons. Due to its timing and emotional significance for fans, this one has garnered even more attention.
The buzz has only increased due to the uncertainty surrounding the censor certificate. If the movie receives clearance in a timely manner, trade observers predict a strong opening. On the morning of January 9, the day the movie is scheduled to be released, the court is probably going to make its ruling.
The Pongal race is kept open by Parasakthi
Another significant Pongal release, Parasakthi, is headed by Sivakarthikeyan. The actor has a great rapport with both younger audiences and the theater-going family audience. The box office receipts for his most recent films have been consistent.
It was viewed as a bold move to postpone Parasakthi and schedule a Pongal match. But like Jana Nayagan, the movie is also awaiting its CBFC certificate. The Pongal box office picture is still unknown because both releases are still awaiting important clearances.
