Tamil Nadu, where cinema and politics meet
Controversy erupted in Tamil Nadu over the release of two films, Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi, after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) delayed approvals. The delay stemmed from contentious scenes in both films that sparked complaints about religious sentiments and military representation. The producer of Jana Nayagan secured a favorable order at the Madras High Court, while the CBFC appealed to a division bench for an interim stay. This resulted in the postponement of the films' release dates. Kamal Haasan called for a re-evaluation of the film certification process, citing past instances where films faced censorship battles over sensitive themes.
