What Happened
A public interest litigation petition filed in Madras High Court seeks to stop the release of Tamil movie TN 2026 before Tamil Nadu's State Assembly election. The petitioner argues the film contains political references affecting election outcomes. He cited precedent: actor C. Joseph Vijay's Jana Nayagan was halted similarly. The CBFC certified TN 2026 despite political content. The film's release is scheduled for April 10, 2026, two weeks before polling on April 23.
