What is Parasakthi about?
The trailer begins with Sivakarthikeyan’s character cracking a joke about Madrasis going to Delhi and speaking in Hindi, and when a Hindi-speaking person comes to Madras, they must speak in Tamil. When the law is passed that Hindi will therefore be considered the main language in India, tensions arise.
It sparks protests against anti-Hindi agitations, where an ideological clash takes place between the two friends. Ravi Mohan was seen in a menacing avatar, while Sreleela stars as the love interest who tries to teach Sivakarthikeyan some Hindi.
The film has music composed by G V Prakash Kumar, cinematography handled by Ravi K Chandran and editing by Sathish Suriya.
Box office clash with Jana Nayagan
Parasakthi will release in theatres worldwide on January 10, 2026, clashing with Jana Nayagan, another big release. Jana Nayagan is one of the most anticipated films of the year, given that it marks the final film of Vijay’s career before he focuses on his political career.
Jana Nayagan, which also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani, releases on January 9, 2026.
