The most anticipated political action drama, Parasakthi, hit the theatres on January 10 and received mixed reviews from the critics. The film is now making its way to the OTT platform within a month.
Parasakthi is slated to release on February 7, 2026, on ZEE5. The film, which was produced by Aakash Bhaskaran under the Dawn Pictures banner and directed by Sudha Kongara, a National Award-winning filmmaker, vividly depicts a significant period in Tamil Nadu's sociopolitical history.
The film follows the emotional story of two brothers enmeshed in a pivotal movement of their era, Parasakthi examines themes of identity, self-respect, and resistance against the backdrop of the 1965 Anti-Hindi Imposition campaign. In a powerful lead role, Sivakarthikeyan plays Chezhiyan, a young man with moral convictions who gets heavily involved in the movement against the imposition of Hindi as an official language.
Director Sudha Kongara has recently shared her vision of the film and said, “Parasakthi was born out of a deep desire to tell a story about dignity, language, and the power of collective awakening. This isn’t just a political movement; it’s about how ordinary lives are affected when identity is questioned. I’m grateful that ZEE5 is taking this story to a global audience that understands the importance of voices, cultures, and histories being heard.”
Sivakarthikeyan shared, “Chezhiyan is one of the most intense and meaningful characters I’ve portrayed. He represents conviction, courage, and the responsibility of standing up for what truly matters. Parasakthi challenged me as an actor and as an individual, and I’m proud that audiences will now experience this journey on ZEE5.”
Sreeleela noted, “Parasakthi marks a very special milestone for me. Ratnamala is a character driven by quiet strength and empathy and being part of a story with such cultural and historical significance has been an honour. I’m thankful to Sudha ma’am and the entire team for trusting me with this role.”
Parasakthi premieres on ZEE5 from February 7.
