# Suriya's Shocking Exit from *Parasakthi*: Sudha Kongara Finally Spills the Real Reason! Imagine the buzz when Suriya, the powerhouse actor from *Soorarai Pottru*, teamed up again with director **Sudha Kongara**—only for him to bow out mysteriously. Fans were left speculating for years, but now Sudha has broken her silence in a candid revelation.[1] In a recent Times of India interview, Sudha Kongara shared for the first time why **Suriya** exited the ambitious project *Purananooru*, now reborn as ***Parasakthi*** (transl. The Supreme Power), a gripping Tamil political historical drama set in the 1960s.[1] Initially announced in late 2021 as a biography-inspired film with Suriya, G.V. Prakash Kumar, and Sudha, delays hit due to clashing schedules with *Kanguva* (2024) and *Sarfira* (2024).[1] But the real reason? Suriya couldn't commit to the continuous shooting block required for this intense role, as Sudha later confirmed.[1] Enter **Sivakarthikeyan** in the lead, alongside Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela in her Tamil debut, with a stellar ensemble including Rana Daggubati, Guru Somasundaram, and Basil Joseph.[1][2] Directed by Sudha Kongara and produced by Aakash Bhaskaran of Dawn Pictures, the film boasts Ravi K. Chandran on cinematography (his first with Sudha and SK), G.V. Prakash's score, and Sudha's trusted crew like editor Sathish Suriya and stunt master Supreme Sundar.[1][4] Trailers tease high-octane action, emotional depth, and mass moments, promising Sivakarthikeyan's most transformative performance yet.[3] This "re-birth" of the project feels like destiny—turning potential setback into a powerhouse lineup. With a January 14, 2026 release looming, *Parasakthi* is poised to dominate Tamil cinema, blending real events with political drama and raw emotion.[2][3]
