Tamil cinema is gearing up for a thrilling Pongal festival season, with two major releases clashing for attention. Vijay's Jana Nayagan was initially set for release on January 9th, while Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi was scheduled for January 14th. However, the latest buzz suggests Parasakthi may prepone its release to January 10th, potentially stealing the thunder from Jana Nayagan.
If Parasakthi does release on January 10th, it will be a major setback for Jana Nayagan, as they will have to split screens and compete from the second day itself. Jana Nayagan is expected to be the first choice for Tamil audiences, thanks to Vijay's massive stardom, but Parasakthi is carrying strong positive buzz for its plot and cast.
The promotional content for Jana Nayagan hasn't created a big impact so far, while Parasakthi is gaining momentum. Adding to the competition, The Raja Saab's Tamil version is also releasing on January 10th, further dividing screens. Pongal 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive festival seasons in recent years.
The clash between Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi is generating immense interest, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome. Sivakarthikeyan's decision to potentially prepone Parasakthi's release has sent shockwaves in the industry. The battle for box office supremacy is heating up, and only time will tell which film will emerge victorious. With strong contenders in the mix, Pongal 2026 is set to be an unforgettable festival season for Tamil cinema enthusiasts.
