Sudha Kongara speaks about clash with ‘Jana Nayagan’
Parasakthi is directed by Sudha Kongara. Recently, she spoke openly about her feelings for Vijay. She made it very clear that she has only love and respect for him. She told India Today, “I love Vijay. I am probably his biggest fan and there is no doubt about it. Even Vijay knows it. I have met him and told him the same.”She also said that there was never any competition in her mind. Sudha shared, “I had always wanted to make a film with him but it didn’t materialise due to various reasons. I usually watch my own films at least 2,000 times but Vijay is the only actor whose films I watch on the very first show of the first day. I have been eagerly waiting for the release of Jana Nayagan.”Talking about the release timing, she said, “Our film and Vijay’s film were scheduled to release around the same time and we only wanted a Pongal release for our movie.”Sudha also spoke about a big problem before release and said, “The Censor Board refused to issue a certificate just two days before the planned release. This is something no film should have to face.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
