Popular Tamil actor Sivakarthikeyan was involved in a minor road accident in Chennai on Sunday, but emerged completely unharmed from the incident. The event has brought his safety into focus even as his highly anticipated project, 'Parasakthi', gears up for a major theatrical showdown in 2026.
The Chennai Incident: A Close Call
The accident occurred near the Madhya Kailash area in Chennai. The car carrying the actor met with a small mishap, resulting in minor damage to the vehicle. Thankfully, Sivakarthikeyan sustained no injuries whatsoever. Visuals from the spot quickly circulated on social media platforms, showing the actor standing calmly outside the car, dressed in a black T-shirt and appearing safe and composed. The video evidence confirmed he had no visible injuries, much to the relief of his fans.
Work Front: Gearing Up for 'Parasakthi' and a Box Office Battle
On the professional front, Sivakarthikeyan is deeply invested in the making of 'Parasakthi', which is being touted as one of the biggest Kollywood releases lined up for 2026. Directed by Sudha Kongara, the film features an ensemble cast including Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela in pivotal roles. This project is particularly special as it marks the actor's 25th film in his career.
The release strategy for 'Parasakthi' has taken an interesting turn, setting the stage for a significant box office clash. Initially scheduled for a Pongal release on January 14, 2026, the makers have reportedly preponed the date to January 10, 2026, which is a Saturday. This move places it directly in competition with another giant, as the film will now hit theatres just a day after the release of Thalapathy Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan', scheduled for January 9, 2026. Reports suggest 'Parasakthi' is based on the anti-Hindi agitations that took place in Tamil Nadu in 1965.
Separate Incident: Nora Fatehi's Minor Accident
In an unrelated event, Bollywood actress and dancer Nora Fatehi was also involved in a minor car accident on Friday afternoon in Mumbai. The incident took place on Link Road in suburban Amboli while she was en route to the Sunburn music festival. She sustained a minor injury but, after a medical check-up, proceeded to attend the event as planned. Police arrested the driver of the other car involved in the collision.
These incidents highlight the unforeseen risks celebrities face during travel, though both stars fortunately avoided serious harm. The focus now for Sivakarthikeyan's fans shifts back to his well-being and the excitement surrounding his landmark 25th film and its high-stakes release.
