Parasakthi’s Jan. 10 Release Faces CBFC Hold as Bookings Stall

Distributors counter false overseas cancellation claims during the wait for censor clearance.

Overview

  • The Sivakarthikeyan-led period drama has not received a CBFC certificate, with reports pointing to a revising-committee review and suggested cuts.
  • Advance sales on major ticketing platforms remain largely closed as many theatres wait for certification before locking shows.
  • Overseas distributor Friday Entertainment denied viral claims of France show cancellations and warned of legal action over the misinformation.
  • Trade coverage notes that CBFC action on Vijay’s Jana Nayagan has eased the immediate box-office clash, potentially benefiting Parasakthi’s holiday frame.
  • Directed by Sudha Kongara, the film is set against the 1960s anti-Hindi protests and marks composer GV Prakash’s 100th project.
