When it was announced that Sudha Kongara\u2019s Sivakarthikeyan<\/a>-starrer Parasakthi will be clashing with H Vinoth\u2019s Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan in theatres, there were many who took offence. Jana Nayagan, which is releasing on January 9, is supposed to be Vijay\u2019s final film before he enters politics. At the pre-release event for Parasakthi, releasing on January 10, Sivakarthikeyan broke his silence on the issue.<\/p>\n

\"Sivakarthikeyan's Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi and Vijay’s Jana Nayagan will clash in theatres this Pongal. Sivakarthikeyan was shocked to learn of the clash<\/p>\n

Sivakarthikeyan states that the initial plan was to release Parasakthi <\/a>for Diwali 2025, but the film was postponed to avoid a clash with Jana Nayagan, which was initially scheduled for release at the same time. But after Parasakthi\u2019s producer hinted at a Pongal release date, Jana Nayagan\u2019s makers also followed suit. \u201cI was shocked,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called our producer and asked if we could change our date to avoid the clash. However, all the investors had already been informed of our Pongal release. Also, if pushed to summer 2026, it would be difficult due to the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections,\u201d he said, adding that he also called Vijay\u2019s manager, Jagadish, to sort the issue.<\/p>\n

Vijay consented to both Pongal releases<\/p>\n

When the manager asked him why there would be an issue to have two films released on Pongal, Sivakarthikeyan claims he told him, \u201cYou might not have a problem, but I will. Jana Nayagan is promoted as Vijay<\/a> sir\u2019s last film. Can you ask sir about it once?\u201d Sivakarthikeyan says Jagadish called him back after speaking with Vijay.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me that Vijay sir believes that since it\u2019s Pongal, both films have enough space to release and will not affect each other at the box office. Sir also conveyed his best wishes for Parasakthi. So, everyone, please enjoy Jana Nayagan on January 9. We\u2019re talking about a man who has entertained us for 33 years. And on January 10, come watch Parasakthi,\u201d said the actor.<\/p>\n

Sivakarthikeyan also spoke at the event about how he made a cameo in Vijay\u2019s previous film, Venkat Prabhu\u2019s The GOAT. \u201cThis is the relationship between us. So, whatever happens, you don\u2019t worry about that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Jana Nayagan<\/a>, which also stars Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol, is rumoured to be a remake of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari. Parasakthi, which also stars Sreeleela and Ravi Mohan, explores the political scenario of 1960s Madras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it was announced that Sudha Kongara\u2019s Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Parasakthi will be clashing with H Vinoth\u2019s Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,116852,121239,3496,79175],"class_list":{"0":"post-219622","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-jana-nayagan","13":"tag-parasakthi","14":"tag-sivakarthikeyan","15":"tag-vijay"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
