The Controversy Unfolds
On Wednesday, the much-anticipated teaser and title of Sivakarthikeyan’s next film were unveiled, generating excitement among fans. Directed by Sudha Kongara and produced by Dawn Pictures, Parasakthi is based on a real-life story and features actors Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela. As the title trended on social media, speculation about the film’s storyline grew. However, later that evening, Vijay Antony’s statement stirred debate over the film’s title rights.
Vijay Antony’s Claim Over Parasakthi
Vijay Antony took to social media to share a letter issued by the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC), confirming that his production house, Vijay Antony Pictures, had registered Parasakthi as a title in Telugu nearly six months ago. To reinforce his claim, he also shared a poster of his upcoming film Shakti Tirumagan in Tamil and Paraashakthi in Telugu.
Dawn Pictures’ Response
In response, Dawn Pictures posted letters from both the Tamil and Telugu Producers Councils, asserting their ownership of the title Parasakthi in both languages. These official documents supported their claim, countering Vijay Antony’s statement.
The Legacy of Parasakthi
Amidst the dispute, AVM Productions issued a statement extending their best wishes to Sivakarthikeyan, Sudha, and Dawn Pictures for their film. The name Parasakthi carries significant historical weight, as it was originally a 1952 classic produced by AVM Productions. The iconic film, starring Sivaji Ganesan, became a cult hit due to his stellar performance. Written by Kalaignar Karunanidhi and adapted from Pavalar Balasundaram’s play, the story depicted the struggles of a Tamil family during World War II and ran successfully in theaters for over 175 days.
Despite the ongoing controversy, excitement remains high for Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi, which is reportedly set against the backdrop of revolutionary events from 1965. With music composed by GV Prakash, the film carries great expectations, especially following the success of Sivakarthikeyan’s 2024 blockbuster Amaran. Fans eagerly await further updates as the debate over the title continues.
