“I had previously known Aakash Bhaskaran as a director; he has now turned a producer. It was Aakash who first narrated the concept of Parasakthi and my characterisation therein. I am profoundly grateful to him for entrusting this project to me," says Atharvaa Murali. The actor is all praise for his co-stars in the film. Says Atharvaa, "Sreeleela shall be hailed as an unparalleled performer after this film. She is one of the finest dancers in the Indian industry." Talking about actor Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa confesses that the Santhosh Subramaniam star has for long been an inspiration.

"I still recall watching his dance in Santhosh Subramaniam with my family - a particular sequence in which he dances alone in the rain filled us all with joy. My mother remarked that when one engages in joyful pursuits, those around them share in the happiness. From that moment, I embraced the ideal of cultivating personal joy while spreading it to others," he recalls vividly.

Talking about the film's director Sudha Kongara, Atharvaa says, "I have known Sudha ma’am for many years. Upon meeting her for this film, she insisted I stop calling her ‘ma’am’. She is a creator of cult masterpieces." But he reserves his best for Sivarkarthikeyan. "Sivakarthikeyan is now my brother both onscreen and off it. I have always marvelled at his career growth; every step he takes is meticulously calculated. Few successes feel as intimately personal as his, and SK’s achievements fill me with unalloyed joy. Parasakthi is a piece of history, mirroring the student movements that shaped our state. It promises to be a special and indelible film for all of us," he says. ‘Jana Nayagan’ Censor Row: Thalapathy Vijay’s Political Action Thriller To Be Examined by New Censor Panel Ahead of January 9, 2026 Release?
