Jana Nayagan Movie Release Date Hearing Live Update: Madras HC reserves order

The Madras High Court hearing related to Jana Nayagan became a long waiting game on January 20. The hearing was scheduled to begin at 11.30 AM. Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan were present on the bench. From the beginning itself, it was clear that the Jana Nayagan case would not be taken up early. The case was listed as Item 17, which meant many other matters had to be heard before it.

The court first took up Item 3. After that, Item 4 was heard. Then Item 5 and Item 6 followed one after the other. Each case took its own time. Nothing moved quickly. People who were closely following the hearing kept checking for updates again and again. Vijay fans were especially alert because this case is directly linked to the release of Jana Nayagan.

Later, the court moved on to Item 12. Even at this stage, Jana Nayagan was still far away in the list. Item 13 was taken up next, followed by Item 14. With every item, the waiting time grew longer. Many people hoped that Item 17 would be taken up soon, but the updates clearly showed that there was still a long way to go. Everyone understood that court hearings follow their own process, even if the wait feels stressful.

The biggest delay happened when Item 15 and Item 16 came up. It was said that these matters could take more time as they were contempt of court petitions. Item 15 was taken up first. Then the court moved to Item 16. This case did not end quickly. Senior Counsel E. Om Prakash was arguing a matter related to the construction of the Kallakurichi bus stand. Because of the long arguments, the judges could not move ahead to the next item. Updates kept saying that Item 16 was still going on and Item 17 had not yet started.

Item 17 is the Jana Nayagan case that everyone has been waiting for since morning. Earlier, the Supreme Court refused to entertain the appeal and sent the case back to the Madras High Court division bench. The apex court also stated that the verdict should come on January 20. This made the hearing day very important. Once Item 16 gets over, the judges are expected to take up the Jana Nayagan case.

Jana Nayagan holds special importance because it was promoted as Vijay’s last film before full-time politics. A big music launch event was held in Malaysia in December 2025. The poster was launched on March 24, and Pongal 2026 was announced as the release date. Fans from Tamil and Telugu states are waiting eagerly. For now, all eyes remain on the court as the waiting continues with hope.
