Kamal Haasan’s review of Sivakarthikeyan Parasakthi

Kamal posted his review of Parasakthi on his official MP letterhead. He captioned the video, “Let the Tamil flame spread!” Addressing it to Deputy CM of TN and actor Udhayanidhi Stalin, he wrote, “Before I started watching the film Parasakthi, I did not expect at all that this film would become a resounding call for the elections our alliance is going to face. Yes, my wish is not just that this film should succeed, but it is also my genuine blessing.”

Talking about the film touching upon the ruling party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s history, he added, “This film is the victory garland placed upon DMK history. With affection, Kamal Haasan.” The actor-politician also praised Sudha and Sivakarthikeyan, writing, “PS: I should have said this first, but my emotions took precedence. The first praise goes to this biopic-fiction story, its director, Mrs Sudha Kongara, and brother Sivakarthikeyan, who chose this story, worked hard for it, and is going to achieve success.”

Music composer GV Prakash thanked Kamal for his review and producers, Dawn Pictures wrote, “Thanks to Hon'ble Kamalhassan for standing strongly in support of the film's initiative and giving lovely wishes.”
