Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' Film Cleared for Release
Vijay, who is also the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has a film called 'Jana Nayagan' that was supposed to come out in January.
But it got delayed because the people who check movies for kids had some problems with it.
They finally said it's okay for adults to watch, but not for kids.
The movie is about a former police officer who fights bad guys.
Some bad people also stole parts of the movie and put it online, but the police caught them.
Now, the movie will finally come out on July 23.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' has been cleared for release with an 'A' certificate after a seven-month delay.
The film was initially submitted for certification on December 19 and faced objections over certain scenes that could hurt public sentiments.
The film is now scheduled for release on July 23, starring Vijay as a former police officer turned vigilante.
An unfinished version of the film was leaked online in April, with the pirated copy viewed nearly 1.2 crore times before access was blocked.
The Tamil Nadu Police arrested several individuals connected to the leak, including a freelance film editor.
