Vijay in Jana’s star is Bad.
Questioning the pace at which the case was heard in the Madras High Court, a bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih asked the film producers to approach the division bench of the Supreme Court for relief.
The top court also asked the Madras High Court on January 20 to rule on the plea after senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing on behalf of the producers, said a film is a perishable commodity and it would cause “serious injury” if the matter is postponed.
On January 9, the Madras High Court stayed a single judge’s order directing the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to immediately grant a censor certificate to “Jana Nayagan”, leaving the fate of actor-turned-politician Vijay’s film, which has attracted attention for its political overtones, in limbo.
KVN Productions LLP filed an appeal against the order of a division bench of the Supreme Court last Friday.
Vijay recently launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Widely publicized as Vijay’s last film before full-fledged entry into politics, “Jana Nayagan” would be released in Pongal on January 9.
However, the film faced hurdles at the last minute after the CBFC failed to issue the certification on time.
