The trailer for the highly anticipated Tamil political drama Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, has been released, offering a glimpse into the film's intense narrative surrounding language politics in 1960s Tamil Nadu. Directed by Sudha Kongara, the film is set to release in theaters on January 10, 2026, coinciding with Pongal and clashing with Vijay's Jana Nayagan.

Parasakthi explores the historical resistance to Hindi imposition in Tamil Nadu during the 1960s. The trailer introduces Sivakarthikeyan as Chezhian, a coal tosser at the Indian Railways, who initially seems detached from the political turmoil. However, he is later seen leading a fierce protest against the central government's decision to impose Hindi as the official language. The film portrays the simmering anger among students and the ideological clashes that arise from this decision.

The trailer highlights a key moment where Sivakarthikeyan's character declares, "We are not against Hindi-speakers; we are against Hindi imposition". This dialogue encapsulates the film's nuanced stance on the language issue, emphasizing the resistance against imposition rather than the language itself.

Atharvaa Murali plays Chezhian's younger brother, who actively joins the agitation against Hindi imposition, creating initial tension within the family. Sreeleela, in her Tamil debut, plays Sivakarthikeyan's love interest, Ratnamala, who attempts to teach him Hindi and explain the importance of his brother's fight. Ravi Mohan portrays the antagonist, a determined officer from Delhi who seeks to crush the resistance, leading to intense face-offs with Sivakarthikeyan.

The film has GV Prakash Kumar as the music composer, Ravi K Chandran as the cinematographer, and Sathish Suriya as the editor. Aakash Baskaran produces Parasakthi under the Dawn Pictures banner. The film's production involved extensive location shooting in Chennai, Chidambaram, Karaikudi, Madurai, Colombo, and Pollachi.

Parasakthi faced controversies before its release, including title rights issues, financial concerns, and plagiarism allegations. However, the Madras High Court cleared the film of plagiarism charges, allowing its release.

The trailer has generated buzz for its stunning visuals, impactful background score, and the accurate representation of 1960s Madras. The film is anticipated to be a gripping period drama that explores themes of language, identity, and rebellion.
