Recently two Tamil films went into a tussle over the same title: Parasakthi. One was directed by Sudha Kongara starring Siva Karthikeyan in the lead role and the other starring Vijay Antony in the lead role directed by Arun Prabhu. Both claimed the right to the title and this led to confusion. But, now these issues have been sorted out and Siva Karthikeyan’s film retained the title officially.
Vijay Antony seems to have backed off in this aspect renaming his film as Shakthi Thirumagan. However, his film will retain the title in Hindi and Malayalam languages with no confirmation as of now for Telugu version.
This is indeed a good move from Vijay Antony for a harmony within the film Industry. Meanwhile, Siva Karthikeyan’s Parasakthi received tremendous response with praise for the direction and the roles played by the lead cast. Sudha Kongara looks to shape up one more cult film like her previous blockbusters.
The film was originally planned with Suriya but the Actor opted out of the film for various reasons. Fans and Audience after watching the Teaser of Parasakthi felt that Suriya had really missed a golden opportunity. The film is currently being shot and aiming to release somewhere in 2025.
