Sivakarthikeyan Exits Sankranti? Madharaasi Effect?

Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan and directed by Sudha Kongara, was initially announced as a Sankranti 2026 release. The film is now nearing the final stages of shooting, but strong rumours suggest that the release date might change.

Reports indicate that Parasakthi may shift to an April 14 release instead of joining the Sankranti race. This has sparked widespread discussion among fans and industry trackers.

Kollywood sources claim that the postponement could be due to Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Prabhas’s Rajasaab releasing during Pongal. A direct clash with such big titles could reduce Parasakthi’s screen count.

On social media, some argue that the poor performance of Madharaasi, even with a solo release, is a major reason for the delay. They believe that if Parasakthi released alongside Jana Nayagan, it might struggle to last beyond the first weekend.

Many speculate that Madharaasi’s underperformance influenced the decision. If the film had been a success, Parasakthi might have confidently faced competition during Sankranti. Still, there is no official confirmation from the makers.

Meanwhile, strong buzz suggests that Suriya’s Karuppu could enter the Pongal race. An official announcement about this new contender is expected soon.

Until the production team issues a statement, the release date of Parasakthi remains uncertain. Fans are now waiting to see if it stays in the Sankranti line-up or shifts to April.
