Chennai, Jan 4 (NationPress) In a response to a fan's inquiry regarding the delay in the issuance of a U/A certificate for actor Vijay's latest movie, 'Jana Nayagan', actress Gautami Tadimalla has clarified that she is not affiliated with the Censor Board and advised the fan to direct any questions to the appropriate ministry.

Following the release of the film's trailer by the makers of director H Vinoth on Saturday, social media buzzed with speculation that although Censor Board officials had screened 'Jana Nayagan' days earlier and approved a U/A certificate, the filmmakers had yet to receive the official censor certificate.

A fan tweeted Gautami, who previously served on the Censor Board, asking, 'Why is there such a delay in issuing the UA certificate for Jana Nayagan?' The fan also referenced an AI app response claiming, 'Yes, actress Gautami Tadimalla is a member of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)...'

In her reply, Gautami stated, 'I am perplexed as to why my name is being brought up in this situation. I have not been a member of the CBFC since October 2023 and have not been asked to participate in any film certification committees since. For any inquiries, please contact the relevant Ministry. I appreciate being informed about the continued use of my name in this manner and wish 'Jana Nayagan' great success upon its release.'

For those unaware, 'Jana Nayagan', directed by H Vinoth, is generating substantial anticipation as it marks Vijay's final film.

Expectations soared on Saturday with the trailer's release, showcasing intense action sequences. One scene features a child asking Vijay, 'You took down an entire battalion. Are you Superman?' To which he responds, 'I'm just an ordinary man, but people say what I do is super.'

The trailer also introduces Mamitha Baiju as Vijay's daughter, Viji. He encourages her, saying, 'Girls should not be scared; they should be like tigresses.' However, we see Viji experiencing fear and anguish, prompting Thalapathy to seek out those who dare to harm her.

Additionally, Bobby Deol appears as the antagonist, with plans to dominate India in just 30 days. His scheme, dubbed OM, aims at widespread destruction.

Vijay's character makes bold political statements, declaring, 'Anyone who threatens me, I have no intention of backing down.'

The trailer concludes with him confronting politicians, stating, 'Instead of entering politics to serve, you come to loot and harm innocent lives.'

The film, which has sparked significant interest, is set to release globally on January 9 this year.
