Sivakarthikeyan Meets PM Modi, Triggers Political Storm In Tamil Cinema

A fresh political controversy has erupted around Tamil cinema after Parasakthi actor Sivakarthikeyan was seen attending a Pongal event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. The visuals have triggered a sharp reaction from the Congress, with MP Manickam Tagore questioning whether Team Parasakthi is aligned with the Sangh Parivar. The row has intensified amid delays in the release of actor-turned-politician Vijay's film Jana Nayagan, which remains stuck without a censor certificate despite a planned January 9 release.
