Vivek Oberoi congratulated Vijay
Vivek Oberoi tweeted, “Vijay, my brother, people said it was impossible, people said it was just ‘fans’ obsession’, but now look at you. ‘Enna Nanba, Solli Adichomala!'” You have immortalized those words in the history of this earth by extracting those words from the 70 mm screen. You’ve turned that raw, cinematic energy into a real-world revolution. The roar is real, the victory is historic, and the future is yours. Proud of you, Chief Minister! Vazhathukkal Thalapathi!

Pawan Kalyan and R Madhavan also congratulated
Pawan Kalyan wrote, “Hearty congratulations to Vijay and all the ministers on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.” R. Madhavan posted, “God bless you and very proud of you.”

In August 2009, a question was much discussed in Tamil cinema and politics whether actor Vijay was going to join the Congress Party.

The very next day, Vijay reached Delhi and met the then Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. It was told that this meeting lasted for about an hour.

I did not discuss anything about politics or joining any party. Right now I have no plans to join politics. My first priority is acting.

Vijay kept distance from politics

Vijay kept his distance from politics for many years, but social and political issues continued to appear in his films. In films like Thalaivaa, Mersal, Sarkar and Master, he gave messages related to corruption, education, politics and social problems. Due to this, discussions continued regarding his political future. Finally, on 2 February 2024, Vijay made his official entry into politics by starting his political party “Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam” i.e. TVK. He also announced that he would gradually distance himself from films and concentrate completely on politics. Vijay told that his film Jan Nayakgan will be the last film of his film career.

How many seats did Vijay’s party TVK win?

Jana Nayakgan is a political action drama film directed by H Vinoth. Along with Vijay, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol will also be seen in this film. The name of the film means leader of the people. Because of this, people started drawing parallels between the film and Vijay’s real political journey. A mixture of politics, society and action is shown in the film. Earlier this film was scheduled to be released on 9 January 2026 on the occasion of Pongal, but later its release was postponed. According to reports, due to the political content of the film and Vijay’s increasing political activism before the assembly elections, the Censor Board’s investigation took a long time, which led to the delay. After this, Tamil Nadu Assembly elections were held on 4 May 2026 and the results brought a big change in the politics of the state. Vijay’s party TVK emerged as the largest party by winning 108 seats. With this, the 59 years old dominance of Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu ended.

Where did Vijay contest elections from?

Vijay himself contested the elections from Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East seats and won both the places. However, his party fell 10 seats short of the 118 seats required for majority. Due to this, a situation of hung assembly was created in the state. After the election defeat, Chief Minister MK Stalin resigned on May 5. After this, Vijay has become the 9th and first non-Dravidian Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

Vinoth, this film was waiting for its certification for some time. Now, if new reports are to be believed, the process may finally move forward. With this, expectations of its soon release have also increased.

‘Jana Nayagan’ may get certification soon
Let us tell you that according to a report in Valai Pechu, the makers of ‘Jana Nayagan’ have received an email from the revising committee of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). It is being said that the committee has fixed the screening of the film on March 9, 2026. It is clear that the committee will watch the film on March 9, 2026 at 2 pm. If everything goes smoothly then certification can be issued immediately after the screening. This will give the team a chance to finalize the theatrical release plan of the film.

Let us tell you that Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan’ was earlier planned to be released in January. Actually, it was to be released in theaters on Pongal i.e. on January 9, 2026. But, it was not released as expected. The reason for the delay was that it is still waiting for the censor certificate. Without certification from CBFC, the film cannot be released in theatres.

Got a chance due to postponement of Toxic
Recently, the makers of Yash’s ‘Toxic’ had announced a change in their release plans. ‘Toxic’ production house confirmed that ‘Toxic’ will not release on March 19, 2026, as was earlier planned. Instead, the team is now looking to release the Yash starrer on June 4, 2026. Actually, considering the current situation in Middle Eastern countries, its release date has been extended.

This postponement disappointed many fans who were eagerly waiting for the release of the film. However, this change has also created an open window in the theater calendar. This new available slot can reportedly prove to be a boon for the team of ‘Jana Nayagan’. Due to fewer major releases around that time, the film may perform better at the box office.

When can ‘Jana Nayagan’ be released?
Amidst all this, a report on the Valai Pechu YouTube channel states that the Jan Nayagan team hopes that the newly changed Censor Board committee will complete the review of the film by March 17, 2026 and issue the certification. If the process goes as per plan then the film may come out earlier than expected. Because of this, it is being said that the makers are looking at an earlier release window instead of waiting till June.

Another factor that may decide the release of the film is the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections. According to the report, if the censor approval is received on time, ‘Jana Nayagan’ may be released just a week after the Tamil Nadu assembly elections. Although the official dates of the elections have not been announced yet, voting is expected to take place in the third week of April 2026. If this timeline remains intact, Vijay’s film may hit the theaters by late April or early May. However, the makers have not yet confirmed the final release date.

H. Vinod’s film ‘Jana Nayakan’ was scheduled to be released in theaters on January 9, however, this film is facing a lot of difficulty in getting certification from CBFC. This film is Thalapathy Vijay’s last film after joining politics. Even after several hearings in the Madras High Court, no clarity has been received regarding the ‘Jana Nayakan’ certificate. Now, after several delays, Vijay has broken his silence on this and said that he feels bad for the producers of ‘Jana Nayakan’.

This was Vijay’s first direct interaction with a national media platform, which he described as a “mock interview”, and said that even though some people may feel that he talked less, he believes that he keeps talking to the public through his speeches and will speak more openly to the media at the right time.

Jana Nayakan postponed

Madras High Court has canceled the single judge’s order to give censor certificate to actor Vijay’s film ‘Jana Nayakan’. On Tuesday, the High Court gave this decision while hearing the petition of the Central Board of Film Certification (Censor Board). After this order of the court, the release of the film may be delayed.

Actually, the film was scheduled to be released in theaters on January 9, before the Pongal festival, but a few days before the release, the Censor Board informed the production house KVN Productions that on the basis of a complaint by the Board, the film has been sent to the reviewing committee. The makers then moved the Madras High Court, which in an initial victory ordered the Censor Board to issue a UA certificate after making changes to the film.

But the Censor Board appealed against the order of the High Court, after which a two-judge bench of the Madras High Court stayed the single bench’s direction to grant the certificate to the Censor Board. KVN Productions had also approached the Supreme Court. On January 15, the apex court rejected the petition and directed it to approach the Madras High Court.

Thalapathy Vijay’s film Jan Nayakan’s troubles are showing no signs of ending. The film has suffered another major setback. This blow has been dealt to the film by the Supreme Court. Actually, the makers of Jan Nayakan had filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking approval from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). This petition was heard on January 15 and the Supreme Court has refused to interfere in it.

Decision will be taken in Madras High Court

Now the last hope left for Jan Nayakan is Madras High Court. Whose division bench has to take the decision. This hearing will take place on January 20. In the Supreme Court, the bench of Justice Dipankar Dutta and Justice Einstein George Mahis has rejected the petition of the makers. The court has said in its decision that this case is with the division of Madras High Court, so the hearing will be held there. You can try to take a decision from the division bench on the same day.

what is the matter

Jan Nayakan’s film was earlier scheduled to be released in theaters on January 9, but it was stopped due to non-availability of certificate from the Censor Board. After that this matter went to Madras High Court. Where the Madras High Court had banned the certification process of the film. After which the makers filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding a stay on the order of Madras High Court.

Fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Jan Nayakan. This is his last film. After this he is going to enter politics. Some time ago he has started his political party Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam. Now fans are waiting when they will be able to watch Thalapathy Vijay’s last film.
