Aakash Baskaran clears the air on Parasakthi and Jana Nayagan clash, calls it “unnecessary controversy”

He dismissed all speculations around the clash between Parasakthi and Jana Awellsaying, “This is an unnecessary controversy. Usually, during the Pongal festival, it is common to see several films releasing together. 20 years ago, over ten films would release together. Then it reduced to five, and then three and two. During this time, it is highly unlikely to see just a single film releasing. It is quite common to see two films releasing. It is fair. I hope people see it as a healthy thing rather than in a competitive lens.”

Parasakthi is set in the 1960s and is expected to revolve around the anti-Hindi agitations. Sivakarthikeyan stars alongside Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela for the first time, with the latter making her Tamil debut and marks the first time Ravi Mohan plays an antagonist. Atharvaa will also be seen playing a key role.

On the other hand, Jana Awelldirected by H Vinoth stars an ensemble cast and said to revolve around Vijay’s role as a police officer. Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol essay pivotal roles. The rest of the cast members are: Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju, and others. Plot details have not been revealed yet. The film recently had its grand audio launch held at Bukit Jalil Stadium in Malaysia. The film marks Vijay’s final film outing before his full-fledged entry to politics.
