The controversy started when the CBFC sent 'Jana Nayagan' to a Revising Committee, citing depictions of the armed forces and sensitive religious sentiments as potential complaints. Although the Madras High Court had ruled in favour of the producers on the morning of January 9 directing the board to grant a U/A certificate a division bench later stayed the decision.
A dramatic change has just taken place as the production house KVN Productions moved the Supreme Court to intervene with the stay. This week, the apex court is scheduled to handle the case (January 12, 2026). Fans are holding their breath as the upcoming elections in Tamil Nadu create a further sense of urgency; once the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in place, launching a politically charged film could prove to be challenging.
What About the Stars Working Together? Astrological Outlook; Are All The Stars lining Up for Success?
But as bad as the world has reached, leading astrologers are claiming Vijay's planetary positions lead to a winning conclusion.
- Dasha and Bhukti: Vijay is under the influence of Shukra Dasha or Venus and Rahu Bhukti. This is said to be an auspicious equation that can be associated with great celebrity and great popular acceptance. Rahu’s placement in the 5th house from Venus generally means luck (and global fanfare).
- The Turning Point: The dates of Jan. 9 and 10 were expected to be tumultuous, but astrologers predict a change of heart starting from Jan. 11. Saturn is beginning to exert its influence during a more favorable Mercury-aligned period; therefore, the "government obstacles" and legal barriers are anticipated to be cleared.
- Success Assured: Experts say Jupiter (Guru) stares into the 11th house (the house of gains) and, when released, the film will shatter records. Moreover, the fact that Vijay’s Cancer (Kataka) Rashi has partnered with the state of Tamil Nadu (related to Cancer Rashi) also points to the fact that the film will touch audiences.
Political Undercurrents
It has been a political as well as a cinematic delay. Citing remarks from several influential leaders, including Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and the Congress themselves, critics have criticized the film from those who believe it has a political agenda. But astrologers say that although at first there may be mixed reviews in part due to rivalry, they can see it is the “Jan Nayagan,” who will eventually emerge victorious. His potential trajectory should mirror his position in the 2026 assembly elections.
