While “Jana Nayagan” continues to attract a lot of attention in Tamil Nadu, a new controversy has taken away the interest from the film. Since it is VijayReleased for the first time after he became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, many eyes are on the film from all quarters, and the government imposed strict rules on theaters across the state. But the latest news is about a Tamil Nadu minister, whose visit to the theater with his family has sparked controversy on social media. Since the film has been certified ‘A’ by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), questions have been raised after pictures of the minister attending a screening with her children started circulating online.
Minister watches ‘Jana Nayagan’ with family despite ‘A’ certificate
Directed by H. Vinoth, ‘Jana Nayagan’ hit the theaters on Thursday (July 23) amidst huge fan celebrations. As Vijay’s last film before he retired from acting, this release created a sensational buzz. According to News 18, in Ramanathapuram, the film was screened in three theatres, while Tamil Nadu Environment Minister Rajeev visited the cinema hall around 4 pm along with his wife, children, and other relatives to watch the film.
Social media users questioned the actor’s visit
Controversy arose because ‘Jana Nayagan’ has received an ‘A’ certificate, which means it is only for adults. Under CBFC rules, children are not allowed to watch such movies in theatres. After videos and pictures of the minister’s family surfaced on the internet, many users questioned how children were allowed inside the footage. The incident has drawn criticism, with several users saying that the certification rules should apply to everyone equally.
The discussion shifts from video to certification rules
Although ‘Jana Nayagan’ is still getting good response at the box office, the issue of the minister’s visit to the theater has become a hot topic on the internet. The controversy has also raised the question of whether CBFC’s certification guidelines are being followed and whether theaters are following them.
