The makers of director Sudha Kongara’s highly anticipated period film, ‘Parasakthi’, featuring actor Sivakarthikeyan in the lead, have unveiled the inspiring third single titled ‘Nammakaana Kaalam’. This release has delighted fans and film enthusiasts alike.
New Musical Release
Dawn Pictures, the film’s production house, shared the announcement on X, stating, “A song that cheers us, our time, our joy. #Parasakthi third single out now. Namakkana Kaalam (Tamil). Janjara Janjaraja (Telugu). A @gvprakash musical, in Cinemas for Pongal.”
‘Nammakaana Kaalam’, a celebratory anthem, has music composed by G V Prakash Kumar and is sung by Haricharan, Nakash Aziz, and Velmurugan, with lyrics penned by Arivu.
Cultural Significance
Notably, certain phrases in the song highlight the importance of standing up for one’s language. This has led to speculation among industry insiders that the film may address the language issues that significantly affected the state during the 1960s and 1970s.
Progress on Film Production
Sivakarthikeyan began dubbing for the film in the last week of November. A video released by Dawn Pictures showed him dubbing under the guidance of director Sudha Kongara, accompanied by the caption, “When his voice turns into a storm. @sivakarthikeyan begins dubbing for #Parasakthi – Coming to theatres on January 14th.”
Actress Sreeleela, who plays the female lead, and actor Ravi Mohan, who portrays the antagonist, have both completed their dubbing. Notably, Sreeleela has dubbed in her own voice for her role.
Shooting Wrap-Up
The makers confirmed on October 21 that shooting for the film had wrapped, and the Pollachi schedule was completed in August. This particular schedule, which began on July 18, included some crucial sequences, although Sivakarthikeyan joined the unit slightly later.
Previously, the first schedule of ‘Parasakthi’ took place in Madurai, followed by the second schedule in Sri Lanka. The recent Pollachi schedule marked the third.
Plot Insights
‘Parasakthi’ has generated significant interest among fans and film lovers. Set in the 1960s in the then state of Madras, the film also features Atharvaa.
A teaser reveals that the story unfolds at Pachaiyappa’s college in Madras, where Sivakarthikeyan’s character is depicted as a fearless leader seeking to rally students for a protest against an oppressive system, challenging orders such as ‘Students – do not touch’. This command is later altered to ‘Do not touch students’ in the teaser.
The teaser further indicates that Ravi Mohan’s character aims to kill Sivakarthikeyan’s character.
Final Notes
Tentatively referred to as #SK25, marking Sivakarthikeyan’s 25th film, ‘Parasakthi’ features music by G V Prakash and cinematography by renowned cameraman Ravi K Chandran. Action scenes are choreographed by Supreme Sundar. The film is set to be released on January 14 next year, coinciding with the festival of Pongal.
