Actor Sivakarthikeyan has earned widespread appreciation for being kind to the much-talked about Pongal release scenario involving his film Parasakthi and Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming film Jana Nayagan. Addressing the issue, Sivakarthikeyan candidly revealed that he made a conscious effort to avoid a box office clash with Vijay’s film, especially considering that it is the superstar’s last film.
Sivakarthikeyan revealed that he had already conveyed his concerns to producer Jagadish Palanisamy, stating that he did not want Parasakthi to be released with Jana Nayagan out of respect for Thalapathy Vijay’s legacy. According to him, this message was conveyed to Vijay through Jagdish. In response, Vijay reportedly assured Sivakarthikeyan that both the films could release during Pongal and do well without affecting each other.
The most special thing was Sivakarthikeyan’s heartfelt gesture towards Vijay. Acknowledging the immense contribution made by Vijay to Tamil cinema over the last 33 years, Sivakarthikeyan urged fans and audiences to treat Jana Nayagan as a celebration. He suggested that the audience dedicate 9 January to celebrate Vijay’s film and watch Parashakti the next day, 10 January, thereby strengthening the feeling of mutual respect rather than competition. Sivakarthikeyan also recalled how he and Vijay have a good relationship but the media and social media try to ruin it by making fake allegations.
