The Madras High Court on Tuesday deferred a plea from the team behind 'Jana Nayagan,' featuring TVK chief Vijay, who are seeking a censor certificate for its release scheduled for January 9.

Justice P T Asha, during the hearing, demanded that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) provide a copy of the 'complaint' it received, requiring the CBFC to present it in court by Wednesday.

The court will reconvene on January 7 to further deliberate on the case, determining whether the film can meet its intended release date.
