A fake CBFC certificate for the much awaited film ‘Jana Nayagan’, starring Vijay and directed by H. Vinothrecently went viral on social media. While the leaked image sparked heated discussions among fans about the film’s runtime, censorship cuts and age rating, it has been confirmed to be completely fabricated. The filmmakers have not yet received or announced the official censor certificate.
The viral certificate was edited from Vijay’sLeo ‘
The internet quickly exposed that the viral image had no connection to ‘Jana Nayagan’. Social media updates revealed that the document was an edited version of Vijay’s ‘Leo’ censor certificate, with the title and details altered to mislead the public. Sources further clarified that the actual censor board certificate of ‘Jana Nayagan’ has not been made public, and asked fans to ignore unverified online rumours.
Social media speculation creates confusion among followers
Because the forged certificate claimed a three-hour runtime and listed specific edits, many fans mistakenly believed the film had completed its censoring process. However, none of these details have been officially verified. This situation highlights how quickly manipulated images can spread across social media, especially for major and highly anticipated releases. It also serves as a reminder that audiences should remain skeptical of these rumors until an official statement is made by KVN Productions or the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Fans are waiting for an official update from the manufacturers
As one of the most anticipated Tamil Movies of the year, ‘Jana Nayagan’ marks superstar Vijay’s final on-screen performance under the direction of H. Vinoth. Despite the massive excitement surrounding the project, fans are still eagerly waiting for the production house to share official updates on its runtime, censor rating and release details. An official announcement about the film’s theatrical release and censorship status is expected to drop this coming Monday, ahead of its planned July 24 release date.
