Thalapathy Vijay, now addressed as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has one more reason to celebrate. After a long 6-month wait, his swansong, Jana Nayagan, has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film was supposed to be released in January this year, marking the end of Vijay’s acting career and his entry into politics. However, due to censorship issues, the film was delayed. In the meantime, Vijay’s party won a majority in the election, and the actor became the state’s Chief Minister.
