Prabhas can breathe a sigh of reduction. His The Raja Saab will now open on Friday with out competitors from Vijay’s Jana Nayagan which was scheduled for Friday as effectively.

Extra straight, the opposite Tamil movie this week Parasakthi opens in Chennai and Tamil Nadu with none competitors from the formidable Vijay Starrer.

Jana Nayagan and its dubbed Hindi model Jan Neta has been postponed after being impeded by the Central Board Of Movie Certification (CBFC).

This, after the movie had acquired an all-clear from the CBFC on December 29, and the producers have been knowledgeable that Jana Nayagan could be granted the UA 16+ censor certificates.

Nonetheless, on January 5, 2026, the Jana Nayagan producers have been knowledgeable that the movie was being referred to a Revising Committee.

The CBFC cited an alleged criticism associated to spiritual sentiments and the questionable portrayal of armed forces as the explanations for re-censoring.

With no signal of censor clearance, the producers of Jana Nayagan took a collective choice to postpone the movie.

However Vijay needn’t fear. The extra (the delay) the merrier (the viewers).
