Jana Nayagan Producers Face Legal Threats from Amazon
The movie 'Jana Nayagan' starring Vijay is in trouble because the censor board hasn't given it a certificate yet.
The producers are upset because they say the censor board didn't talk to them for a long time.
Now, the streaming partner, Amazon Prime, is threatening to take legal action because the movie's release is delayed.
The producers are also saying that announcing release dates before getting a censor certificate is common in the film industry, using another movie, 'Dhurandhar 2', as an example.
The court is deciding what to do about this issue.
Jana Nayagan producers claim Amazon Prime threatened legal action due to release date uncertainty.
Madras High Court reserved its verdict on the CBFC's appeal challenging a single-bench order.
Producers stated they were forced to approach the court after the CBFC failed to communicate for nearly two weeks.
KVN Productions cited the example of 'Dhurandhar 2' to justify announcing the release date before obtaining a censor certificate.
The legal battle involves disputes over the film's certification and potential release delays.
