Sivakarthikeyan confirms Basil Joseph cameo in 'Parasakthi': 'He stayed for three days in Sri Lanka even after finishing his scenes'

Sivakarthikeyan confirmed that actor Basil Joseph will be making a cameo appearance in 'Parasakthi' during the Kerala promotions for the movie.



Sivakarthikeyan said, "My good friend Basil will be making a cameo in the film.” As reported by Cinema Express SK said that he revealed this detail only after checking with director Sudha Kongara. The makers of the film had earlier teased several cameo appearances and fans were excited to know the names.

Fun moments during the shoot

Sivakarthikeyan shared more about working with Basil Joseph on the film. “I got to spend the most time with him on this shoot. I met everyone else too but he stayed for three days in Sri Lanka even after finishing his scenes, so it was really fun,” Sivakarthikeyan said.

Sivakarthikeyan delivers the famous Thudarum dialogue

Sivakarthikeyan also surprised the audience by delivering a famous dialogue from Mohanlal’s Malayalam film 'Thudarum'. Sivakarthikeyan delivered the dialogue, “Go and tell your people that the lone warrior has entered the forest again.”

Sivakarthikeyan said that 'Thudarum' was the last Malayalam film he watched and that he loved it. He admitted, “When I first watched the film I didn't understand the dialogue but still clapped for it. Later I realized its depth and impact.”

About 'Parasakthi' and the film team

'Parasakthi' is directed by Sudha Kongara. The film is based on the anti-Hindi agitations of the 1960s. Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela also play important roles alongside Sivakarthikeyan. With 'Jana Nayagan' postponing the release date 'Parasakthi' is expected to get a good start at the box office.


'Parasakthi' is expected to mark the comeback of Sivakarthikeyan after 'Madharaasi' which failed to impress the audiences.


'Madharaasi' received 3 stars from ETimes and our review read, " Sivakarthikeyan's robust performance and Vidyut Jamwal's swagger power Madharaasi in a big way. The former, with his beefed-up look, is a far cry from the roadside Romeos that we have seen him play in the early years of his career, and his intensity during the action sequences establishes that he's now in the big league. As for the latter, after Thuppakki, he gets another memorable antagonist role, where he puts his brawn and screen presence to superb use."
