A while ago, the makers of director Sudha Kongara's film Parasakthi dropped its trailer. The Parasakthi trailer gives a glimpse at the film's plot, which is set in the 1960s and revolves around Hindi imposition and student politics. At the start, we hear an announcement about the government's decision to make Hindi the country's official language. Soon, a revolt starts against the imposition of the language, with Atharvaa's student character leading the way. At one point, a police officer tells Atharvaa's character, "If you have a problem with politics, go to Delhi and make your opposition known," to which the latter replies, "Is Delhi the same as India?"
For a good part, Sivakarthikeyan's character, Atharvaa's onscreen brother, remains a passive observer and even shows his willingness to obey the law and learn Hindi from Sreeleela's character. At first, he questions his brother's decision to revolt against the rules and regulations. Elsewhere, Sreeleela tries to explain apparently to Sivakarthikeyan's character how his brother is fighting for the nation only.
Soon, Sivakarthikeyan's character undergoes a transformation, becoming the leader of the revolution against Hindi imposition. Getting in his way is Ravi Mohan's police officer, trying to enforce the rules on people. At one point, Sivakarthikeyan's character says, "We are only against Hindi imposition, not the language itself or the people who use it as their main language."
Elsewhere in the Parasakthi trailer, Ravi Mohan's character calls Sivakarthikeyan's an 'anti-national scum' and tortures the latter in jail. And elsewhere, Chetan's character says that whoever leads the revolution is his 'elder brother'.
The film also stars Prakash Belawadi. Sudha Kongara has directed it from a screenplay she has written alongside Arjun Nadesan, based on a concept by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi. Ganeshaa is credited for additional screenplay, and Madhan Karky and Shan Karuppusamy are given credits for additional dialogues.
On the technical front, it has music by GV Prakash (his 100th film as a composer), cinematography by Ravi K Chandran, editor Sathish Suriya, and stunts by Supreme Sundar. Produced by Aakash Baskaran of Dawn Pictures, the film is slated for a January 10 release in theatres.
