The CBFC asked the makers of Parasakthi to make 25 cuts and modifications before the film was certified. The film was initially set to clash with Vijay's Jana Nayagan, but that did not take place as Jana Nayagan was postponed indefinitely after not receiving a clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
