Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela in key roles, is certainly one of the largest Tamil releases of 2026. It’s a big-ticket release, and expectations are really high. It arrives in theaters 4 days after Thalapathy Vijay starrer Jana Nayagan‘s release, on the auspicious occasion of Pongal. Because it has been mounted on an enormous scale, everyone was desirous to see its pre-release business, and if reports are to be believed, the film has locked an enormous OTT deal.
The upcoming political historical drama marks the debut collaboration between Siva and director Sudha Kongara. Since Sudha has delivered a solid content-oriented movie with Soorarai Pottru, and Siva displayed his box office potential with Amaran, the mixture of each is predicted to set the money registers ringing.
Parasakthi carries a budget of over 175 crores
Considering the theme and the size, the makers have reportedly spent around 200 crores to make Parasakthi. Some reports state that the budget has exceeded 200 crores. Even when we consider it to be 200 crores, the movie might want to perform strongly on the box office to make profits for the makers. But before proving its mettle on the box office, the biggie is scoring big with its pre-release deals.
Locks a solid OTT deal
Based on reports, Parasakthi’s OTT rights have been acquired by ZEE5, with the deal reportedly valued at a considerable 52 crores. It is claimed to be the largest OTT deal for a Sivakarthikeyan film, proving his growing popularity. Such a deal is an enormous relief to the makers, helping them get well a big chunk of the budget they spent.
Considering the aforementioned number, Parasakthi has recovered 26% of its budget, which is an enormous thing through its OTT deal alone. It’ll be interesting to see how the film does in other pre-release deals.
More concerning the film
Aakash Baskaran’s Dawn Pictures, the upcoming Kollywood biggie is scheduled to release on January 14, 2026. Red Giant Movies will distribute it. It’s reportedly based on anti-Hindi agitations in Tamil Nadu that took place in 1965.
