Parasakthi is headlined by Sivakarthikeyan and is directed by Sudha Kongara. The cast also includes Sreeleela, who makes her Tamil debut as the female lead, and Ravi Mohan as the antagonist. Atharvaa Murali plays Sivakarthikeyan’s younger brother in the film. Parasakthi is partially inspired by the anti-Hindi agitations that took place in Tamil Nadu in 1965.
