ZEE5 is set to premiere the much-anticipated political action drama Parasakthi from February 7, 2026. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sudha Kongara and produced by Aakash Bhaskaran under the banner of Dawn Pictures, the film brings to life a powerful chapter from Tamil Nadu’s socio-political history.
Set against the backdrop of the 1965 Anti-Hindi Imposition agitation, Parasakthi explores themes of identity, self-respect, and resistance through an emotionally charged narrative of two brothers drawn into a defining movement of their time. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan in a compelling lead role as Chezhiyan, a principled young man who becomes deeply involved in the agitation opposing the imposition of Hindi as an official language.
