The much-anticipated first look at the upcoming Tamil film 'Parasakthi' has been unveiled, titled 'World of Parasakthi'. Released just a week before the film's theatrical debut, this glimpse promises a potent mix of history, personal conviction, and ideological warfare set against the politically charged landscape of the 1960s.
Chezhiyan: The Heart of the Revolution
At the core of this period drama stands Chezhiyan, portrayed by Sivakarthikeyan. The glimpse introduces him not as a one-dimensional revolutionary but as a layered leader driven by purpose and burdened by responsibility. Sivakarthikeyan reveals that embodying Chezhiyan, whom he refers to as 'Che', instilled a unique sense of power. The character is depicted with serious commitment and a clear mission, yet the actor hints at a narrative filled with entertaining and unexpected twists, requiring him to perform with deep passion.
Thirunaadan: A Formidable Ideological Foe
Opposing Chezhiyan's vision is Ravi Mohan's character, Thirunaadan. His presence elevates the story's tension and depth. Ravi Mohan shares that director Sudha Kongara believed the role demanded significant courage and inner strength, which she saw in him. The actor also expressed gratitude for Kongara's trust in him to portray a character that challenges ethical boundaries. The preview suggests Thirunaadan is more than a conventional villain; he is a man on his own mission, with a rationale that sets the stage for a profound clash of philosophies, not merely physical conflict.
An Ensemble Cast Weaving the Emotional Fabric
The world of 'Parasakthi' is further expanded by its supporting cast. Atharvaa plays Chinnadurai, a role for which he explored multiple interpretations before Sudha Kongara guided him to a specific, fiery portrayal that she highly praised. The female lead, portrayed by Sreeleela, was a role the director envisioned specifically for the actress. Sreeleela found the part to be challenging and intense, noting that the dialect preparation alone was an immense task, highlighting the film's commitment to period authenticity.
Co-written and directed by Sudha Kongara and Arjun Nadesan, with dialogues by Madhan Karky and Shan Karuppusamy, 'Parasakthi' is shaping up to be a grand, character-driven cinematic experience. The glimpse successfully showcases the film's ambition to merge powerful personal stories with the broader socio-political currents of its era, promising a compelling watch for audiences.
