Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, is scheduled to release on January 10, 2026, coinciding with Pongal this year. Since we are just hours away from its release, let’s take a look at some details about the upcoming film.
Everything you need to know about Sivakarthikeyan’s Parashakti
Parasakthi is a political historical drama written and directed by Soorarai Pottru fame Sudha Kongara. The film was recently certified by CBFC and received a U/A certificate. A total of 25 cuts were reportedly made to the film during the censoring process.
The upcoming film is the story of two brothers set in Madras (now Chennai) and Madurai in the 1960s. While one brother works for the Railways, the other is a college student fighting against the systemic oppression of people.
As civil unrest increases due to government interference, the brothers clash with each other, leading to chaos. However, things change when one of them gets caught in the crossfire, prompting the elder brother to carry on the work started by his younger brother. Whether he succeeds in completing this mission or fails while trying is the focus of the film.

Apart from him, the film also stars Kulappulli Leela, Prakash Belawadi, Dev Ramnath, Prithvi Rajan, Guru Somasundaram, Chethan and others in lead roles.
