Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi vs Vijay’s Jana Nayagan for Pongal 2026

Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara, is set for a grand Pongal 2026 release. Marking his 25th film, this project features a stellar cast, including Ravi Mohan as the antagonist, along with Basil Joseph, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela. G.V. Prakash Kumar is composing the music, adding to the film’s excitement.

Currently, the production is underway in Sri Lanka, where the team is filming in historically significant locations to enhance authenticity. To prevent leaks, strict security measures are in place on set. Once the Sri Lankan schedule is completed, the crew will return to Chennai to shoot key scenes on specially designed sets. The makers aim to complete production on time to allow for seamless post-production work.

A major highlight surrounding Parasakthi is its expected box office clash with Vijay’s Jana Nayagan. Originally scheduled for an October 2025 release, Jana Nayagan has been postponed to Pongal 2026 and will hit theaters on January 9, coinciding with Tamil Nadu’s extended holiday period. While Parasakthi is confirmed for a Pongal release, the exact date is yet to be announced.

If both films release on the same day, it will mark the first-ever box office battle between Sivakarthikeyan and Vijay, generating massive anticipation. Fans are eager to see how this clash unfolds, making Pongal 2026 one of the most exciting festival seasons for Tamil cinema.
