Jana Nayagan CBFC Controversy: Ravi Kishan Offers To Help Release Thalapathy Vijay’s Last Film; States, “I Can Definitely Call The Censor Board”

Thalapathy Vijay’s much-awaited final film, Jana Nayagan, has been in the headlines for several weeks now with regards to its release date. The film – initially scheduled to release in theatres globally on January 9, has been facing trouble in getting a green light from the CBFC. On Tuesday, the Madras High Court set aside a single judge’s order that had directed the censor board to issue a certificate to the film. As the makers of the film continues to battle to secure the film a release date, actor-turned-MP Ravi Kishan has stepped forward and offered to help resolve the issue. Read on to know what he said.

During a recent interaction with SCREEN, Ravi Kishan said, “I am hearing about this from you. Otherwise, I have not received any complaints. But being a parliamentarian, cinema people can approach me directly. They can write to me or call me. If any film is stuck, I can definitely call the censor board.”

Explaining why there could be a delay, the actor-turned-politician said, “What could be the reason for delays is that they have to scan multiple things in a film. They have to ensure the language is appropriate, that no religious sentiments are hurt, and that real-life incidents are not misrepresented. A lot goes into this process. The real question is how many screenings the panel members can realistically conduct in a single day.”

Stating that people from the film fraternity can directly call him, Ravi Kishan further said, “Through you, I want to convey this to my family, the film industry. They can come directly to me and contact me. All this is happening while our government is in power, so it is my responsibility to take care of my fraternity. They don’t need to worry.”

He added, “I will personally speak with the Information Ministry. Parliament will be in session soon, and I will make sure to discuss how we can improve the censor board by making it bigger, better equipped, and faster in the certification process so producers can release films on time.”
