As Jan Neta, widely regarded as Thalapathy Vijay’s final film, awaits its release, the film has encountered a hurdle, as the CBFC is yet to issue the censor certificate. In response, the film industry has come together in a powerful show of solidarity. What began as concern among fans has now evolved into a collective industry voice standing firmly behind Vijay and the film.

As Jan Neta awaits censor certificate, Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, RGV and others stand with Thalapathy Vijay

Actors Silambarasan TR (Simbu), Ravi Mohan, Jiiva, and Jai were among the first to express their support on social media, voicing confidence that the delay is only temporary. Their messages reinforced the belief that challenges have always been part of Vijay’s journey, and that Jan Neta is simply awaiting its moment.

Dear @actorvijay anna, Setbacks have never stopped you. You’ve crossed bigger storms than this. This too shall pass, real Thiruvizha begins on the day #Jananayagan releases.

While backing Vijay and the film, they also raised important questions around the censorship process, calling for clarity, consistency, and greater trust in both creators and audiences. Their statements shifted the discussion into a larger reflection on cinema, creative freedom, and responsibility.

CENSOR BOARD is OUTDATED

Not in the context of just @Actor_Vijay ‘s #JanaNayagan ‘s censor issues but in an overall manner, it is truly foolish to think that the censor board is still relevant today

It has long outlived it’s purpose, but it’s being kept alive out of laziness…

ஜனநாயகன் திரைப்படத்தின் தணிக்கை விவகாரத்தில் மத்திய திரைப்படத் தணிக்கைத்துறையின் செயல்பாடு மிகவும் மோசமானது. தனிப்பட்ட அரசியல் காழ்ப்புணர்ச்சியின் காரணமாக நடந்திருப்பதற்கான சாத்தியக்கூறுகள் அப்பட்டமாகவே தெரிகிறது. அதே போல, ‘பராசக்தி’ திரைப்படத்திற்கு கொடுக்கப்பட்ட நெருக்கடிகள்…
