Sudha Kongara Reveals Why Dulquer Salmaan's 'Small Love Story' Became Grand 'Parasakthi'

  • Director Sudha Kongara's upcoming film 'Parasakthi', starring Sivakarthikeyan, was originally conceived as a small romantic drama with Dulquer Salmaan.
  • The project, set for a Pongal 2026 release, organically grew in scale, demanding vast locations and becoming an expensive, large-scale production.
  • 'Parasakthi' is now a political historical drama set in 1960s Madras, focusing on two brothers amidst intensifying political unrest.
  • The film features Sivakarthikeyan, Atharvaa Murali, Sreeleela, Ravi Mohan, and cameos by Basil Joseph and Rana Daggubati.
  • Dulquer Salmaan is currently busy with the Malayalam action thriller 'I’m Game', directed by Nahas Hidayath, slated for an Onam release.

Why It Matters: Sudha Kongara explains how her 'small love story' with Dulquer Salmaan organically transformed into the epic political drama 'Parasakthi'.
