After Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi also faced uncertainty due to a hold-up in receiving censor clearance. The hurdle has now been cleared, with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granting the film a UA certificate. The film will now release on January 10.

Directed by Sudha Kongara, Parasakthi stars Sivakarthikeyan, Jayam Ravi and Sreeleela.

Parasakthi gets UA certificate

On Friday, it was revealed that Sivakarthikeyan's much-awaited historical drama has been cleared for its release on January 10 by the CBFC. The Tamil film, which is set in 1960s Madras, has received a UA certificate from the Censor Board.

Soon after Parasakthi received its UA certificate from the Censor Board, Aakash Bhaskaran of Dawn Pictures, the production banner backing the film, took to X to declare it a win for the movie.

The film’s certified runtime stands at two hours, 42 minutes and 43 seconds. Dawn Pictures, the film's official production house, celebrated the news with a special post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "A fire that speaks to all ages #Parasakthi censored with a U/A – striking theatres worldwide from tomorrow,” the caption read.

This came on the same day when the Madras High Court directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to grant Vijay’s highly anticipated film Jana Nayagan a U/A 16+ certificate, and clear it for release.

On January 8, PTI reported had not received clearance from the board as of Thursday evening. Neither CBFC nor the production team issued any official statement regarding the certification status of Parasakthi.
