High Court refuses to block OTT release of Sivakarthikeyan starrer Parasakthi
Following its theatrical release in January, 2026, there was a legal issue in the digital streaming of Sivakarthikeyan’s film Parasakthi online.
However, the Madras High Court has now given a major sigh of relief to both the film crew and the fans of the film with this recent judgment.
The Madras High Court has denied any restraint on the OTT release of ‘Parasakthi’. The film is directed by Sudha Kongara and features Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role.
Assistant director Varun Rajendran filed a case saying the story was copied from his work titled Semmozhi.
As per The Hindu, he claimed that the core idea and background of the film were taken from his story.
As the film was set for OTT release, the petitioner asked the court to block it immediately, requesting for an interim stay on the release.
But the court has denied it and thus did not pass any orders on stopping its OTT release. The case will now have its next hearing on February 9, 2026.
