Pawan Kalyan, actor-politician, has reacted to the controversy surrounding the delay in censor certification of Vijay\'s film Jana Nayagan, stating that the government shouldn\'t be blamed. In an interview, Kalyan emphasized that the certification process is procedural and rules apply equally to everyone.\r\nThe film, initially scheduled for release on January 9, has been postponed indefinitely due to the delay. Pawan Kalyan attributes this to issues within the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), rather than any political influence. He cited his own film OG as an example, where despite being part of the ruling alliance, it received an \'A\' certificate due to its violent content.\r\nPawan Kalyan questioned the Jana Nayagan team\'s decision to approach the courts, saying that once a matter enters the legal system, the outcome is no longer fully in their hands. He stressed that governance and film censorship are separate entities, and rules cannot be bent for anyone.&nbsp;\r\nThe CBFC had suggested several cuts, indicating a possible U/A certificate if changes were made. However, complaints about certain scenes led to the film being referred to a revising committee, causing further delays. Jana Nayagan stars Vijay, Mamitha Baiju, Bobby Deol, and Gautham Vasudev Menon, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

The success of Baahubali has led to a surge in franchises in Indian cinema, with filmmakers adopting different approaches to multi-part film series. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is following the Baahubali model, concluding its story in two parts, unlike the Pushpa series which has left room for a third instalment.\r\nThe Baahubali approach involves planning the narrative arc from the start, ensuring a satisfying conclusion without forced continuations. Director S. S. Rajamouli\'s Baahubali exemplifies this method, with a clear two-part structure that delivered closure. In contrast, the Pushpa series has left open ends, hinting at a third part, which some viewers feel is somewhat forced.\r\nDhurandhar\'s director Aditya Dhar chose not to leave a cliffhanger, instead opting to complete the story in two parts. This decision reflects a refreshing approach, prioritizing narrative integrity over expansion. The team shot both parts together, ensuring a natural conclusion.\r\nThe Dhurandhar model may inspire others to prioritize storytelling closure over endless sequels. As franchises dominate Indian cinema, this approach is seen as a breath of fresh air.
