The release of the film Jana Nayagan has been delayed, with the Madras High Court issuing a stay on its certification until January 21. The court's decision is seen as a setback for the film's star, Vijay. Reports on the reason for the delay and the film's new release date are unclear, with some outlets suggesting it may be postponed indefinitely due to censorship issues and others indicating a release is still possible after January 21.
