Thalapathy Vijay, now addressed as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has yet another reason to have a good time. After a protracted 6-month wait, his swansong, Jana Nayagan, has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film was purported to be released in January this 12 months, marking the tip of Vijay’s acting profession and his entry into politics. Nonetheless, because of censorship issues, the film was delayed. Within the meantime, Vijay’s party won a majority within the election, and the actor became the state’s Chief Minister.
Jana Nayagan Gets A Certificate
Thalapathy Vijay has confirmed that his upcoming film has received an A Certificate from the Censor Board. The film has reportedly received certification because of its violent content. Nonetheless, this will not be the primary time that Vijay’s film has received an A Certification. In 2002, Vijay’s film Bagavathi was the primary, and stays the one, film to have an A certificate.
About Bagavathi Box Office
So, did having an A certificate affect the box-office numbers for Vijay’s film? The actoir enjoys an enormous audience, most of whom are youth. Through the years, his fan base has only grown stronger. While the common age of his audience has grown, he still commands a loyal fan base among the many youth. Back in 2002, Vijay had more of a youth appeal. So, did Bagavathi getting an A rating affect its box office performance?
Bagavathi, directed by A Venkatesh, was released in theatres on November 4, 2002, to coincide with Diwali. The film clashed with actor Ajith’s Villain. The film’s worldwide gross stood at 15.65 crore. Alternatively, Ajith’s Villain earned a worldwide gross of 35 crore at the tip of its run. Ajith won the clash, but it surely was not all a loss for Vijay.
While Bagavathi was not an enormous hit, it marked Vijay’s transition right into a mass-action hero and has since gained a cult following for its songs and stunt sequences.
Challenges for Jana Nayagan
Audiences have come a good distance since 2002, and the A rating might now not hamper a movie’s box office numbers. Vijay’s audience has also grown with time. While Jana Nayagan has the emotional advantage of being Vijay’s last film, it will possibly even be negatively affected by the piracy incident it faced in April this 12 months. Reportedly, the film was viewed online by 1.2 crore people.
