The Tamil Nadu authorities have issued stringent instructions to all cinema halls in advance of the release of actor Vijay's last film, 'Jana Nayagan', to ensure a smooth rollout and compliance with new regulations.
The Tamil Nadu government has released a set of strict guidelines for cinema halls ahead of the highly anticipated release of actor Vijay’s final film, "Jana Nayagan." The directives, issued by the state’s film certification board, aim to standardise screening protocols and enforce compliance with updated safety and licensing norms.
Under the new rules, theatres are required to submit detailed compliance reports, upgrade their sound and projection systems to meet specified standards, and ensure that all staff are trained in the latest health and safety procedures. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in temporary suspension of screening licences.
The film, directed by a prominent filmmaker and slated for a nationwide release on 15 October, is expected to draw massive crowds. The authorities’ proactive measures are intended to prevent last‑minute disruptions and guarantee a seamless viewing experience for fans across the state.
Industry insiders say the guidelines will also include provisions for digital ticketing and crowd management, reflecting the government’s focus on modernising the cinema infrastructure in line with global best practices.
