With Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan getting postponed unexpectedly, Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi has emerged as the primary choice for Tamil audiences this Pongal. The political action drama, directed by Sudha Kongara, also faced censor-related hurdles but cleared all obstacles at the last minute, ensuring a smooth release.
Had Vijay’s film arrived as scheduled, it would have been very challenging for Parasakthi to attract moviegoers, considering Vijay is currently the biggest star in Tamil cinema and Jana Nayagan is his farewell film. However, fortune has smiled on Parasakthi, giving it a solo release during the festival period.
If the reports are positive, Sivakarthikeyan could even register the biggest hit of his career with Parasakthi surpassing Amaran. A success here would further strengthen his standing in Tamil cinema, especially with a major void expected after Vijay’s exit. Let’s see how things unfold.
