Parasakthi Release Date Confirmed: Sivakarthikeyan’s Historical Drama
Tamil cinema enthusiasts, the wait is officially over! Parasakthi, the highly anticipated historical political drama starring Sivakarthikeyan and directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sudha Kongara, has successfully cleared the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film has received a U/A 16+ certificate with a runtime of 2 hours and 42 minutes, confirming its theatrical release tomorrow – January 10, 2026.
CBFC Clearance After Appeals – No Major Cuts
The movie initially faced recommendations for several cuts, mainly concerning its portrayal of the 1960s anti-Hindi agitations and the socio-political climate of Madras (now Chennai). The production team approached the revising committee, successfully preserving the film’s core historical narrative and emotional depth. Music director G.V. Prakash Kumar, who marks his 100th film with this project, shared his excitement on social media with the caption: “After so many hurdles finally.”
Plot & Cast – A Tribute to Tamil Pride
Set against the backdrop of the 1960s anti-Hindi imposition protests in Tamil Nadu, Parasakthi follows the journey of Chezhaiyan (played by Sivakarthikeyan), a passionate student leader fighting for language rights, identity, and justice. The film blends powerful drama, intense action sequences, and strong socio-political messaging.
Star Cast Highlights:
- Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role (his 25th film)
- Sreeleela making her much-awaited Tamil debut as the female lead
- Ravi Mohan (Jayam Ravi) as the powerful antagonist
- Atharvaa Murali in a key supporting role
- Additional cast: Basil Joseph, Rana Daggubati, Guru Somasundaram, and others
