The makers of director Sudha Kongara’s much-anticipated period film, ‘Parasakthi’, featuring actor Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, have announced that he has commenced dubbing for his parts in the film.
Dawn Pictures, the production house behind the project, shared a video on its X timeline showing Sivakarthikeyan dubbing under the supervision of Sudha Kongara. The post read, “When his voice turns into a storm. @sivakarthikeyan begins dubbing for #Parasakthi – Coming to theatres on January 14th.”
Actor Sreeleela had begun dubbing for her portions in the film just a week prior. Dawn Pictures also announced this on their X timeline, stating, “Her own voice, on the big screen. @sreeleela14 starts dubbing for #Parasakthi – Get set for the grand arrival in theatres on January 14th. #ParasakthiFromPongal #ParasakthiFromJan14.” A video clip of her dubbing was released as well.
Additionally, a couple of weeks ago, actor Ravi Mohan, who plays the antagonist, started dubbing for his portions. The makers officially confirmed on October 21 that filming had wrapped up. The final shooting schedule took place in Pollachi, completing earlier schedules in Madurai and Sri Lanka. Sources indicate that crucial scenes were filmed during this last schedule, which commenced on July 18, with Sivakarthikeyan joining the team later.
‘Parasakthi’ has generated significant excitement among fans and film enthusiasts. Set in the 1960s in the then state of Madras, the period film also stars Atharvaa.
A teaser released by the team showcases the story unfolding at Pachaiyappa’s College in Madras, where Sivakarthikeyan’s character is depicted as a fearless leader rallying students for a protest against an unjust system. One intriguing detail from the teaser shows an order stating ‘Students – do not touch’ being altered to ‘Do not touch students.’
The teaser also hints at the conflict between Sivakarthikeyan’s character and Ravi Mohan’s character, who is eager to kill him.
Tentatively referred to as #SK25, marking Sivakarthikeyan’s 25th film, ‘Parasakthi’ features music by G V Prakash and cinematography by the experienced Ravi K Chandran. Action sequences are choreographed by Supreme Sundar. The film is set to be released on January 14, coinciding with the Pongal festival.
