Parasakthi Gets Green Signal: Sivakarthikeyan’s Historical Epic Cleared by Censors – Pongal 2026 Release Locked for January 10

Big update for Tamil cinema fans! The much-awaited period drama Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in a never-seen-before powerful role, has finally received the U/A 16+ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Directed by National Award winner Sudha Kongara, the film is all set to hit the screens tomorrow – January 10, 2026 – and will enjoy a clean solo run during this Pongal festival.

Censor Clearance After Tough Hurdles

The makers faced several rounds of discussions with the CBFC, particularly over scenes depicting the historic 1960s anti-Hindi agitations in Madras. After appealing to the revising committee, the team successfully retained the essence of the story without major compromises. Composer G.V. Prakash Kumar (celebrating his 100th film) took to social media to express his joy, posting a striking poster of Sivakarthikeyan hoisting the flag with the caption: “After so many hurdles finally.”

Story & Star Power – A Tribute to Tamil Pride

Parasakthi is set in the turbulent 1960s Madras and revolves around Chezhaiyan (Sivakarthikeyan), a fiery student leader who fights for Tamil language, identity, and justice during the anti-Hindi imposition protests. The film promises high-voltage drama, emotional depth, powerful dialogues, and gripping action sequences.

Massive Star Cast:

• Sivakarthikeyan – Lead role (his landmark 25th film)
• Sreeleela – Tamil debut as the female lead
• Ravi Mohan (Jayam Ravi) – Potent antagonist
• Atharvaa Murali – Key supporting role

Produced by Dawn Pictures, the film is being hailed as a grand celebration of Tamil culture, resilience, and pride.
