Parasakthi to release on OTT in February

Parasakthi OTT release: Ravi Mohan, Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela and Atharvaa in a still from the Sudha Kongara film.

According to ZEE5's official website, the Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, Ravi Mohan starrer political drama will start streaming on ZEE5 from February 7.

Produced by Aakash Baskaran under the Dawn Pictures banner, Parasakthi delves into themes of linguistic identity, student activism, patriotism, and the sociopolitical climate of 1960s Madras.

The story follows siblings Chezhiyan (Sivakarthikeyan) and Chinnadurai (Atharvaa) as they lead a student movement opposing the imposition of Hindi as an official language, facing governmental policies and societal conflicts along the way.

The film was initially slated for a Pongal box-office clash with Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, but the showdown never materialised as Vijay’s film was postponed due to certification delays.

In the days following the release, Parasakthi actor and producer Dev Ramnath expressed concerns about online activity targeting the film, alleging that some Vijay fans were deliberately attempting to “sabotage” Parasakthi by leaving negative reviews and influencing potential viewers.
