Interesting facts

Parasakthi is a 2026 Indian Tamil-language political action drama film directed by Sudha Kongara and produced by Aakash Baskaran of Dawn Pictures. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa and Sreeleela. Set mainly in 1964, it follows two brothers protesting the promotion of Hindi as India's national language, but face threats from a brutal Intelligence Bureau officer.

Production

In late October 2021, reports claimed that actor Suriya, director Sudha Kongara and music composer G. V. Prakash Kumar would collaborate for the second time after Soorarai Pottru (2020). The following January, Suriya confirmed their reunion. Initially conceived as a biographical film inspired by true events, the project was delayed due to their respective commitments to Kanguva (2024) and Sarfira (2024), the Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru.

In March 2024, after the project was reported to have been shelved, Sudha denied those claims and stated that she needed more time for the film's pre-production, that resulted in the delay of its shooting. However, the following July, Suriya was reported to have left the film, and Sivakarthikeyan was in consideration as his replacement. Production was reported to commence after the latter completed his commitments, Madharaasi (2025) and SK24.

Pre-production began in May 2024, and was completed after six months. A muhurat puja was held at Chennai in early November 2024 with the presence of the film's cast and crew. During a test shoot, which was reportedly held in early December in Chennai, Sivakarthikeyan who was requested by Sudha to remove his beard was reported to have denied to do so and left the film.

In mid-December 2024, Ravi K. Chandran was announced as cinematographer, in his first film with Sudha and Sivakarthikeyan. Prakash Kumar would score the music, in his third consecutive film with the director. Sudha further retained her norm technicians, including editor Sathish Suriya, production designer Bindiya Chhabria, art director Karthick, and stunt choreographer Supreme Sundar.

Following the first announcement of the film, Suriya was reported to lose weight for his character in the film as a college student. Dulquer Salmaan was reportedly brought on board the cast in July 2022, while his inclusion was confirmed after a year, in July 2023. The following September, Nazriya Nazim was reported to be a part of the cast, in her first Tamil film after Thirumanam Enum Nikkah (2014).
