The producer of the Tamil film Jana Nayagan, KVN Productions LLP, has decided to withdraw its writ petition against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) from the Madras High Court. This decision comes after the production house agreed to refer the matter to the CBFC's revising committee, paving the way for the film's potential release.&nbsp;

The writ petition was initially filed on January 5, seeking a U/A 16+ certificate for Jana Nayagan within 24 hours. However, the CBFC directed the film to be sent for examination by a nine-member revising panel on January 6. The production house had alleged that the certification process was delayed arbitrarily, causing financial losses.

The film's certification process was put on hold after a CBFC monitoring committee member complained about visuals and dialogues that could disturb religious harmony. The Madras High Court had allowed the writ petition on January 9, but the CBFC obtained a stay order, which was later set aside by the Division Bench on January 27

The production house is now set to approach the CBFC's revising committee, and the writ petition is expected to be withdrawn.

With new distributors entering into the Film Industry, there is a speculation that the fight will become more intense.\r\nIn the midst of all this, Suresh Babu, renowned producer and distributor speaking to scribes said &ldquo;Not at all a threat for us. Earlier, there were 30 to 40 distributors and only a few survived. It is an open business and there is space for everybody. I have seen many distributors come and go. Anyone can open an office and do distribution in the Telugu states; no specific licence is required,&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;Star films have always attracted distributors and there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with that. In the distribution business, I have personally seen both good and bad phases. Sometimes the good days last longer, sometimes the bad days do. One has to stay afloat,&rdquo;\r\nBut another producer on the condition of anonimity said &ldquo;A distributor failed to honour financial commitments to one producer, forcing him to sever ties and join the syndicate. A film sold for â‚¹30 crore, but only â‚¹22 crore was paid, with the distributor asking the producer not to ask for more. Even box-office collections of hit films are not fully reaching producers.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;Even when a film becomes a blockbuster, producers are not receiving overflows. It&rsquo;s extremely unfortunate.&rdquo;\r\nThe producer added \"Established exhibitor-turned-distributors such as Suresh Babu, Allu Aravind, Dil Raju, and Suniel Narang together control over 500 theatres across the Telugu states, in addition to another 200 screens. Mythri Movie Makers reportedly operates around 60 theatres and is steadily expanding its distribution footprint,\'
