IndiaThe film 'Jana Nayagan,' featuring Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, has been under review by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) since January 2026. The certification process was delayed ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly election, leading to financial losses for producers and distributors. A single-judge bench of the Madras High Court initially ordered the CBFC to issue the certificate, but a division bench overturned this decision.

Narayana, played a role in supporting Mr. Vijay's political campaign.
