A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed by ML Ravi, president of the Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi (DMSK), in the Madras High Court to prevent the release of the Tamil film 'TN 2026' on April 10, just ahead of the Tamil Nadu elections. Ravi argues that the film, which features political themes and critiques the current political landscape, could unduly influence voters during the election period. He draws parallels to the earlier controversy surrounding 'Jana Nayagan,' which was reportedly barred from release due to its political references and the involvement of actor Vijay in the elections. The film's teaser, released on April 2, depicts a character resembling Vijay who transitions from film to politics, raising questions about its appropriateness during the Model Code of Conduct period. Despite the film being certified for release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), its future remains uncertain as the court deliberates on the matter. Actor Natty Nataraj, who stars in 'TN 2026,' has clarified that the film is intended as a parody and not a direct spoof of Vijay. The outcome of this legal challenge could significantly affect the film's release plans, which are currently set for April 10.
