Vijay Film Faces Fresh Hearing as Madras High Court Quashes CBFC Order
The Madras High Court has set aside a single judge order that directed the Central Board of Film Certification to grant clearance to actor Vijay's upcoming film, dealing a setback to the producers. A division bench ruled that the CBFC was not given adequate time to present its case and sent the matter back to the single judge for a fresh hearing. The court's decision revives the possibility of the film being referred to a revising committee, delaying certification and casting uncertainty over its release timeline. With Tamil Nadu heading into elections and the model code of conduct approaching, the legal and political suspense over the film's release continues, leaving filmmakers with limited immediate legal options.
