The Tamil film 'Parasakthi', directed by Sudha Kongara and featuring a star cast led by Sivakarthikeyan, has opened to resounding critical and commercial success. This triumph comes after the film navigated a significant censor row prior to its release.

In a notable post, he addressed Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin, who is also a key figure in the film's production. Haasan expressed that he "hadn't expected Parasakthi to be such a huge election anthem for the elections to be contested by our alliance."
He emphasized his genuine desire for the film's success, stating his wishes came from the heart. Kamal Haasan went a step further by declaring the movie's reception a "historic victory for the DMK." Alongside lauding the political narrative, he appreciated the performances of actors Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela. He also commended the technical prowess of music composer GV Prakash, director Sudha Kongara, cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran, and editor Sathish Suriya.
Production House Responds with Gratitude

They issued a heartfelt thank you, expressing that they would "forever remain grateful" to the esteemed actor for his strong and vocal support. Their statement highlighted the collective teamwork involved in creating the film and acknowledged the significance of receiving such praise from one of Tamil cinema's most respected stalwarts.
