Chennai, Jan 9 (NationPress) The Central Board of Film Certification has given the green light for the release of the highly anticipated period drama, 'Parasakthi', directed by Sudha Kongara. This film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela in pivotal roles, bringing joy to both fans and cinema enthusiasts alike.
The production company Red Giant Movies confirmed this exciting news through a post on their X timeline, stating, "A fire that speaks to all ages. #Parasakthi has been censored with a U/A - hitting theatres worldwide starting Tomorrow. #ParasakthiFromPongal #ParasakthiFromJan10."
The approval from the Censor Board has provided significant relief to theatre owners and distributors. Remarkably, this certificate was issued just a day before the film's release, which is set for January 10. Initially, the film was slated for release on January 14, but the creators decided to advance it.
The trailer showcases an intense scene where Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan face off atop a moving train, with the narrative set in 1964. Sivakarthikeyan plays an engine driver, while his Hindi-speaking co-driver encourages him to communicate in Hindi. In a humorous twist, Sivakarthikeyan responds in broken Hindi, saying, "When a Madharasi goes to Delhi, he speaks in Hindi. Likewise, a Hindi person visiting Madurai should converse in Tamil."
The trailer further reveals a touching relationship between Sivakarthikeyan and Atharvaa, depicted as younger siblings. Sreeleela portrays a news reader in Tamil, whose arrival irks her superior who believes she got the job through connections.
Amidst these dynamics, news emerges of a proposed law to establish Hindi as the official language across states. An elderly woman, presumably the hero's grandmother, laments, "I, who have studied up to eighth grade, have been rendered illiterate."
Atharvaa expresses frustration over Sivakarthikeyan's employment with the Central government that promotes Hindi.
Meanwhile, Sivakarthikeyan attempts to learn Hindi, asking Sreeleela for help, only to receive playful jabs about his lack of skill.
The narrative takes a serious turn when Atharvaa joins protests against the imposition of Hindi. Ravi Mohan, a harsh officer dispatched from Delhi to quell dissent, makes his entrance. Initially, Sivakarthikeyan admonishes his brother, but as the authorities resort to brutal tactics, he ultimately leads a student movement against the oppressive measures.
Excitement is building among fans and film aficionados for this gripping tale.
Notably, the filming of 'Parasakthi' took place across various locations, starting in Madurai, followed by a schedule in Sri Lanka, and concluding in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu.
As Sivakarthikeyan's 25th film, previously referred to as #SK25, 'Parasakthi' features music by G V Prakash and cinematography by seasoned professional Ravi K Chandran. The film's stunts are orchestrated by Supreme Sundar.
