The director claims that she had already ‘cleaned up’ everything that could be a potential censor issue and that the film didn’t have much violence. “The only question left was, would they ban it due to its thought and ideology? Or will they believe in democracy and clear it?” she said, speaking about how she felt in the moment.Sudha then stated that she faced ‘numerous questions’ that she patiently answered, including why she was making a film on an incident from the past. “I said, because we need to learn from history. Now, you make a Dhurandhar, you don't go to Pakistan and throw nuclear bombs on them. Nor in England, we make so many films about the freedom struggle. The Kashmir Files was made because a genocide happened, not to make two religious factions fight," said the filmmaker.The director stated that she argued with the CBFC that people should be aware of what happened in history so they don't repeat the same mistakes. She also called Parasakthi a ‘pacifist film’, stating that the censor board agreed and passed the film after a ‘lot of talking and arguing’.About ParasakthiParasakthi tells a story set in 1960s Madras (now Chennai) during the anti-Hindi imposition agitation. Sivakarthikeyan and Atharvaa play brothers who rebel against it. The film received mixed reviews upon its release and has grossed ₹54 crore worldwide in its first four days. The film was supposed to clash with Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, which was slated for release on January 9. However, the film still awaits certification.
