Why are Telugu people furious over Parasakthi

Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi directed by Sudha Kongara which released amidst huge expectations today on 10 Jan 2026 turned out to be a below average venture.

However, Telugu people are furious over Parasakthi for the usage of derogatory word ' Golti' insulting them.

Many reacted angrily in the following manner.

One X user accused the makers of double standards, writing, “Calling the Telugu community “golti" in the Tamil version, but shouting “Jai Telugu" in the Telugu version — this isn’t art, it’s blatant double standards and political hypocrisy."

Another post demanded accountability from the team: “Disgusting from #Parasakthi team!! Calling Telugu People as “Golti" in Tamil Version twice is Unacceptable. Director Sudha kongara being a Telugu Women & #Sivakarthikeyan who was accepted & Supported well in telugu states using Such language in a film is Nasty. We are demanding a Unconditional Apology from the movie team."
