🎬 Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi Resumes Shooting in Pollachi


Director Sudha Kongara, celebrated for her National Award–winning debut Soorarai Pottru, has restarted principal photography on her next film Parasakthi as of July 15, 2025, in the lush locales of Pollachi. This milestone underscores Kongara’s knack for delivering powerful, crowd-pleasing cinema—even under the toughest of conditions.

🔥 From Pandemic Triumph to New Ambitions

Soorarai Pottru (2020) was shot entirely during the COVID‑19 lockdown and released straight to streaming, yet still grossed over ₹250 crore globally, proving Sudha Kongara’s ability to craft resonance and box‑office success in crises. Now, with Parasakthi, she returns to theatres with an action-packed thriller that carries both commercial heft and cultural weight.

⭐ A Versatile Ensemble

Heading the cast is Sivakarthikeyan, the former engineer‑turned‑comedian whose versatility has made him one of Tamil cinema’s biggest bankable stars. He’s joined by:

  • Jayam Ravi, known for intense performances in films like Thani Oruvan

  • Atharvaa, whose youthful energy shines in action and drama

  • Sreeleela, making her Tamil debut—her fresh screen presence is set against Pollachi’s verdant backdrops

This blend of established and emerging stars promises both mass appeal and new on‑screen chemistry.

🌳 Pollachi: Nature’s Film Studio

Nestled near the Western Ghats, Pollachi has long been a favourite for Tamil filmmakers. Dubbed “Mini Kodambakkam,” it boasts coconut groves, misty hills, and village landscapes. According to Filmapia, over 50 major films have been shot in Pollachi since 2000, benefiting from its year‑round pleasant climate and varied terrain filmapia.com.

📜 Title with Historical Resonance

The film’s title, Parasakthi, evokes memories of PV Narayanan’s 1952 classic—a landmark in Tamil cinema and language politics, born amid anti-Hindi agitations. That original Parasakthi stirred debates over cultural identity, sparking both adulation and controversy. In 2025, Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi also navigated brief title disputes with another production; both teams ultimately reached an amicable agreement, reflecting a more collaborative industry spirit.

🎯 Why Parasakthi Matters

  • Proven Director: Sudha Kongara’s streak of critical and commercial wins.

  • Star Power: Sivakarthikeyan’s comic‑action blend backed by Jayam Ravi and Atharvaa.

  • Scenic Advantage: Pollachi’s cinematic charm—50+ films in two decades.

  • Cultural Echo: A title steeped in Tamil Nadu’s cinematic and political history.

📝 Final Word

As Parasakthi cameras roll once more in Pollachi, anticipation is high for a film that marries thrilling action with deep cultural roots—all under Sudha Kongara’s assured direction. Fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely: this shoot’s success could signal another milestone for a director who thrives in turning challenges into box‑office triumphs.

🎬 Devil in Disguise: A Global Thriller with a Haunting Silence

  A Flixbuzz India Original Short Film In a world cluttered with noise, Devil in Disguise pierces through — with silence. Produced by Flixbuzz India , this gripping short film isn’t your conventional thriller. Directed by Satish ( @satish_kumar7042 ), Devil in Disguise tells a chilling, suspense-filled story with barely a word spoken — save for one powerful voice: a news anchor delivering a cryptic broadcast that shapes the mood, narrative, and psychology of the central character. 🎭 The Cast Anchored by a sharp and intense cast including Ragav , Santhosh Gowda , Manjunatheshwara ( @manjunatheshwara ), and Shashi , the film draws viewers into an eerily quiet domestic setting where actions speak louder than words.

It's the sole voice in the otherwise silent world, elevating tension and drawing audiences in. 🌐 19 Languages One of the fil...
