With less than a fortnight left for the release of Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi, the makers of the film are busy promoting the film. In a recent interview, the film's producer, Aakash Baskaran, spoke about his most favourite scene in the upcoming Sudha Kongara directorial: the interval block.
Speaking to Cineulagam, Aakash said, "When I first read the script, I was completely taken by the interval block. It instantly reminded me of a Baashaa moment, and I was curious to see how it would translate from paper to screen. We shot that sequence in the final leg of the schedule, and it remains my favourite scene in Parasakthi. Even in the edit, it stood out as one of the film’s strongest moments. A lot of effort went into it, as we recreated Madurai’s Masi Street by building an entire set and devoted several days solely to filming that sequence."
Parasakthi also stars Sreeleela, Atharvaa and Ravi Mohan in lead roles. Reportedly, Rana Daggubati is also a part of the film, but the makers are yet to disclose the same. The film marks Sreeleela's debut in the Tamil industry.
Parasakthi is Sudha Kongara's fourth film after Drohi, Irudhi Suttru, and Soorarai Potru. Sudha has written the film along with Arjun Nadesan, with an additional screenplay by Ganeshaa and dialogues by Madhan Karky and Shan Karuppusamy. The crew of the film includes GV Prakash as the music composer, Ravi K Chandran as the cinematographer and Sathish Surya as the editor. Aakash Baskaran is producing the film under his Dawn Pictures banner.
Dev Ramnath is serving as the creative producer, along with MP Senthel and Rhea Kongara, who are serving as executive producers. Red Giant Movies is distributing the film. Upon release, Parasakthi will compete with Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, at the box office. The latter is scheduled to hit theatres on January 9.
