Originally scheduled for 14 January 2026, Sivakarthikeyan’s much-awaited film Parasakthi will now release on 10 January 2026 in Tamil. The makers decided to prepone the release to avoid direct clashes with other big Pongal films. However, the Telugu version will not release on the same date, as Sankranthi is already packed with multiple Telugu films.
Given the crowded festival window, the Parasakthi team has postponed the Telugu release to the Republic Day weekend, a strategic move to ensure better theatre availability and audience reach. The makers are confident about the film’s performance, especially since Sivakarthikeyan is a familiar face in Telugu states.
This decision is seen as practical because even with positive word of mouth, a Tamil dubbed film would struggle to find space among so many Telugu straight releases during Sankranthi.
Parasakthi Cast and Crew
Set against the backdrop of 1960s Tamil Nadu, the film also has Atharvaa Murali, Jayam Ravi (Ravi Mohan), Sreeleela, Rana Daggubati, Basil Joseph, Guru Somasundaram, Papri Ghosh, and Prithvi Rajan playing crucial roles. Parasakthi is directed by Sudha Kongara, best known for her critically acclaimed film Soorarai Pottru. The film is produced by Aakash Baskaran under Dawn Pictures.
