During an event titled 'World of Parasakthi' held at the Valluvar Kottam on Thursday, Sivakarthikeyan shared insights about the core cast and specifically thanked Ravi Mohan while discussing his role.
He stated, 'Ravi Mohan sir, thank you for taking on this challenging role. While it's relatively straightforward for a hero to evaluate a script and decide on participation, for someone like you, who has been a successful hero for years, stepping into a villain's shoes is a significant choice.'
He further remarked, 'When you accepted the role of a villain, my thoughts were clear. In my eyes, you will always be the hero from my college days. That's how I envision you on set and in this film.'
Notably, Sivakarthikeyan began dubbing for the film in late November.
A video released by Dawn Pictures showcased him dubbing under the direction of Sudha Kongara, captioned, 'When his voice transforms into a storm. @sivakarthikeyan starts dubbing for #Parasakthi - Releasing in theatres on January 14th.'
