The title teaser of Parasakthi, which has been so far called as SK 25, was unveiled on social media on Wednesday. Starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, the film is directed by Sudha Kongara and also stars Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa Murali and Sreeleela in prominent characters.

However, with the release of the Parasakthi teaser, fans inevitably could not stop comparing it with Suriya, given how the film was initially mounted with the Kanguva actor. As things did not materialise as expected, Suriya and the then cast members of Vijay Varma, Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya Fahadh, are no longer attached to the project. The Parasakthi teaser created much discussion online, with fans being reminded of a certain Suriya character once again.
