Sudha Kongara Decries Abuse, Says She’s Vijay’s ‘Biggest Fan’ as Parasakthi Opens and Jana Nayagan Is Delayed

The filmmaker says the CBFC holdup for Vijay’s film should never derail a release.

Overview

  • Sudha Kongara said she faced intense online harassment and shared a threatening X post she attributed to a Vijay fan account.
  • She rejected talk of a rift, calling herself Vijay’s biggest fan, and noted a previously discussed collaboration that did not materialize.
  • Kongara said she intended to watch Vijay’s film on first day first show and stressed there was never an intent to compete during the Pongal window.
  • Parasakthi, a 1960s Madras political drama starring Sivakarthikeyan, was cleared at the last minute by the CBFC and is now in theatres via Dawn Pictures and Red Giant Movies.
  • Jana Nayagan was postponed due to a CBFC censorship issue with no new release date announced, and reports describe it as Vijay’s final film before a planned political entry.
