Sivakarthikeyan’s milestone 25th film Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara, released in theatres on January 10th. The film opened to mixed responses from audiences and critics. These reactions have affected its overall momentum at the box office.
Due to the mixed talk, Parasakthi is struggling to sustain its theatrical run. Reports suggest the film is heading towards a washout status in B and C centres. The weak hold after the opening days has raised concerns within the trade.
Amid this situation, Sudha Kongara stated in a recent interview that Parasakthi is being intentionally sabotaged. She clarified that the issue is not political. She claimed the negativity is coming from fans of an actor whose film did not release, calling it a form of rowdyism.
Although Sudha Kongara did not name anyone directly, many assumed she was referring to Vijay fans. Vijay’s film Jana Nayagan was expected to release alongside Parasakthi but was postponed due to censorship certificate issues. This connection led to widespread speculation online.
In response, some trackers argued that only a small section of Vijay fans are involved. They claimed these fans saw Parasakthi as competition and targeted it out of frustration. They also added that fan activity alone cannot explain the film’s poor performance.
Others pointed out that Parasakthi suffered due to its own shortcomings. According to them, the film has several flaws that limited audience interest. They believe the content, rather than external factors, played a major role in its failure.
Meanwhile, Vijay fans strongly criticised Sudha Kongara’s remarks. They argued that a good film succeeds despite negative campaigns. Many claimed Parasakthi is her weakest work and accused her of avoiding responsibility by blaming Vijay fans.
Sudha Kongara’s indirect comments have now gone viral on social media. The debate continues as fans and trackers share differing opinions. The controversy has kept Parasakthi in the spotlight despite its disappointing theatrical run.
