Sivakarthikeyan work front
Sivakarthikeyan was last seen in the leading role for the biographical flick Amaran. The film, directed by Rajkumar Perisamy, had Sai Pallavi as the co-lead and was a massive hit in the theaters.
Looking ahead, the actor is working on the movie, Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara. The film is touted to follow the anti-Hindi agitation movement, which took place in Tamil Nadu during the 1960s.

Originally, the flick was supposed to be Suriya’s 43rd film titled Puranaanooru, but owing to several factors, it was shelved, with Sudha reviving it with a new cast. The Suriya starrer was supposed to have Dulquer Salmaan, Nazriya Nazm Fahadh, and Vijay Varma in key roles.
In addition to Parasakthi, Sivakarthikeyan has upcoming projects with directors Venkat Prabhu and Vinayak Chandrasekhar in his lineup.
