# Breaking: Thalapathy Vijay's *Jana Nayagan* Drops Legal Bombshell – Censor Battle Ends, Release Hopes Rise! Imagine the frustration of Thalapathy Vijay's die-hard fans, waiting endlessly for his final big-screen spectacle amid courtroom drama. In a dramatic U-turn, the makers of *Jana Nayagan* have decided to withdraw their Madras High Court petition against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), paving the way for the film's certification via the Revising Committee.[1][2][3][4] This high-stakes saga began in December 2025 when the CBFC raised objections over content allegedly portraying foreign powers fueling religious conflict in India, following a complaint to Chairman Prasoon Joshi. The examining committee suggested cuts and a U/A 16+ rating, but delays mounted, leading KVN Productions to file a writ petition on January 5, 2026, demanding urgent certification.[3][5] A single judge ordered certification on January 9, but a larger bench stayed it, and the Supreme Court refused intervention, directing them back to the High Court.[2][5] Now, producer KVN Productions LLP, through counsel Vijayan Subramanian, has submitted a letter to the court registry stating they no longer wish to pursue litigation. The petition is listed "For Withdrawal" before Justice P.T. Asha on February 10, 2026 – just tomorrow![1][2][4][6] By opting for the Revising Committee, the team hopes to iron out issues swiftly, especially since *Jana Nayagan* is billed as Vijay's swan song before his full plunge into politics.[1][5]
