They went to the Madras High Court asking for quick certification. The court looked into the case, but nothing moved fast. Now the producers have changed their mind.

How the censor issue started

The film was ready for a January 9, 2026 release. The first CBFC screening happened on December 19, 2025. The board asked for a U/A 16+ rating with some cuts. The team agreed. They made the cuts. They gave the film back. But things got tense when a CBFC member raised new concerns. These concerns were about some army references and some sensitive religious points. Because of this, the board stopped the process. They sent the film to the revising committee. This made the team upset. That is when they rushed to court, but now that whole path has ended.

What happens next

The court route is now closed and the final power is with the CBFC revising committee. Fans are waiting for the next update from the board. The release date will depend fully on the committee’s next move. The makers are hoping for a smooth process and fans are hoping for a happy surprise soon.Disclaimer: This report is based on current judicial filings and reports from legal correspondents.
