These are the kinds of things being said. The abuses and humiliation we\'ve had to hear -- we are well aware of it,\"\r\n\"That night, around 3 to 3:30 am, a lot of people had gathered there. At that moment, Govinda had a mobile phone in his hand, and if he hadn\'t also had his gun with him, God knows what could have happened,\" the manager said. \"We are extremely thankful that the situation didn&rsquo;t escalate. If those people were genuine, they should have stood their ground and said who they were. It was only because he had a gun that he managed to talk to them and drive them away,\" he added.\r\nHe continued \"Everything is on video with me. If needed, I can show it. Something about the situation was clearly wrong, even if their plan didn&rsquo;t succeed. Later, those people returned, and I also reached there.

Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara's Parasakthi is set to premiere on ZEE5 from February 7, 2026, in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. The film was initially planned for a simultaneous theatrical release in Tamil and Telugu but was shelved due to the heavy Sankranthi release rush in Telugu states.

Despite not receiving the expected response in Tamil theatres, Parasakthi collected over â‚¹100 crore in just a few days, becoming another milestone in Sivakarthikeyan's career.

The film features notable actors like Rana Daggubati, Malayalam actor Basil Joseph, and Kannada star Dolly Dhananjaya in key roles. Parasakthi is a period drama with the atmosphere of the 1960s wonderfully recreated through sets and costumes. With Sivakarthikeyan's emotional performance and Sudha Kongara's distinctive direction, the film is expected to set new records on OTT platforms.

He thanked Bhagiratha for giving him the opportunity to write the foreword for Mirzapuram Rani Krishnaveni. Author Bhageeratha, speaking on the occasion, credited Anuradha Devi as the driving force behind the book and said it would not have been possible without her support.
