Jana Nayagan Release Controversy

Jana Nayagan has not yet been released to cinemas. After missing its January 9 release date, the filmmakers wanted to get the picture to theatres in February, but this did not happen either. The Tamil film apparently contains political undertones, prompting the Censor Board to transmit it to the Election Commission, especially since the Model Code of Conduct went into effect on March 15.
