Sivakarthikeyan Graces ‘World of Parashakti’ Event, Promises a Brave, Emotional and Revolutionary Pongal Release — A Grand Return to the 1960s
Sivakarthikeyan lit up the stage at the World of Parashakti event, sharing heartfelt words about what is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing releases of the upcoming Pongal season. The actor, who has built a career as a beloved mass hero, expressed immense pride in associating with a film set in the 1960s, crafted as an emotional, nostalgic and socially relevant cinematic ride.
According to the team, Parashakti aims to transport audiences to another era—an India still finding its modern identity, filled with cultural roots, political tensions and powerful undercurrents of social change. The film is said to address an important social issue, not through loud messaging, but through human warmth, affection and emotional honesty. The core narrative reportedly blends love, bravery, revolution and compassion, creating a two-and-a-half-hour cinematic experience intended to resonate across generations.
Sivakarthikeyan acknowledged that taking up this character was anything but routine. Known largely for playing charming, heroic leads across commercial entertainers, he expressed gratitude for being trusted with a role that ventures into darker, more challenging territory. He plays the antagonist in Parashakti—a bold move that he himself described as a difficult decision after so many years of success as a mainstream star.
Yet, his words reflected affection rather than hesitation. He recalled how Sivakarthikeyan, the man behind the star persona, has always been a hero to him—right from his college days. The statement brought a wave of emotion to the event, reinforcing the personal bonds that fuel major creative collaborations. Sivakarthikeyan also made it clear that respect and seniority matter, noting that Ravi Mohan’s credit appears first in the title layout as a mark of honor to the senior-most member of the ensemble.
With Pongal positioned as one of Indian cinema’s most festive box-office windows, Parashakti promises to offer family audiences something deeper than just seasonal celebration. Nostalgia, reformist spirit, layered performances and a courageous narrative all hint at a film willing to challenge conventions.
If the event was any indication, Sivakarthikeyan’s transformative performance and the film’s ideological heartbeat could make Parashakti a stirring festive highlight—combining celebration with cinema that speaks to society.
