Purushan: After Thalaivar173’s exit, director Sundar C joins hands with Vishal for action comedy film

Director Sundar C and Vishal are all set to reunite for the fourth time after delivering films such as Madha Gaja Raja, Ambala, and Action. Their upcoming action film is titled Purushan (which translates to Husband in Tamil).

After Thalaivar173’s exit, Sundar C joins hands with Vishal for the 4th time

In an official title announcement promo, the makers revealed a 5-minute-and-41-second glimpse of the movie, offering an impactful preview. The glimpse begins with Tamannaah Bhatia’s character watching a daily soap opera. The hero of the show is played by Yogi Babu, who also happens to be her neighbour.

Meanwhile, her husband, played by Vishal, is seen cleaning their house, appearing meek and subservient to his wife’s demands. Upon being instructed, he goes inside to make tea, only for Yogi Babu’s character to follow him into the house.

As Vishal’s character enters the kitchen, several men begin attacking him, leading to wild bloodshed inside their home. In an attempt to prevent his wife from discovering the danger, the husband slashes each of them and disposes of the bodies before she notices.

The entire 5-minute-and-41-second glimpse effectively captures the film’s tone, blending action and comedy, and ultimately reveals the title Purushan.

Watch the glimpse here:

Written and directed by Sundar C, the movie is produced by ACS Arun Kumar. Hiphop Tamizha once again provides the musical compositions, while Venkatt Ragavan has penned the screenplay and dialogues. Gopi Amarnath serves as the cinematographer, and Roger is roped in as the editor. The shoot is expected to go on floors soon.

Interestingly, the announcement of Purushan comes after Sundar C was initially roped in to direct Rajinikanth starrer Thalaivar173. However, due to prior commitments, the director opted out of the project.

Later, Don director Cibi Chakravarthy was brought on board to helm the Sivakarthikeyan starrer, which is co-produced by Kamal Haasan.

Vishal’s next movie

Looking ahead, Vishal is set to make his directorial debut with the upcoming film Magudam. Initially, director Ravi Arasu was announced as the film’s director, but due to creative differences, Vishal has taken over the project himself.

The film is touted to be a gangster action drama, with Vishal appearing in three different roles.

Parasakthi Box Office: Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan starrer records 35 percent drop on 2nd Tuesday, grosses Rs 57 crore in 11 days

Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, added Rs. 65 lakh to the tally on its 2nd Tuesday. The movie registered a drop of 35 percent over Monday. It has gone under the Rs. 1 crore mark for the first time. The downward trajectory of Parasakthi suggests that its theatrical end is very close. 

The 11-day cume of the Sudha Kongara directorial has reached Rs. 57.35 crore gross at the Indian box office. Though the movie has performed better than Vaa Vaathiyaar, it still remained underwhelming as expectations were on the higher side. 

Day-wise box office collections of Parasakthi in India:

Week/Day

Box Office

Week 1 Rs. 41.70 crore (6 days)

2nd Friday

 Rs. 5.75 crore 

2nd Saturday

Rs. 5.5 crore

2nd Sunday

Rs 2.75 crore

2nd Monday

Rs 1.00 crore

2nd Tuesday

Rs. 0.65 crore 
   

Total

 Rs. 57.35 crore

Parasakthi performed best in Tamil Nadu, where it collected Rs. 51.25 crore. The movie collected Rs. 4.10 crore from Karnataka while the rest of India contributed around Rs. 2 crore. The movie also found an audience in the international markets, where it grossed around Rs. 22.20 crore, bringing the worldwide total box office collection to Rs. 79.55 crore. 

One of the major reasons why the Sudha Kongara directorial is struggling at the box office is its mixed word-of-mouth. Had the movie opened to a superb reception, things would have been a bit different. Nevertheless, the movie is expected to make a decent total by the end of its theatrical run.

Territorial breakdown of Parasakthi’s box office collections:

Area

Gross

Tamil Nadu

Rs. 51.25 crore

Karnataka

Rs. 4.10 crore

Rest of India

Rs. 2.00 crore
   

India

Rs. 57.35 crore
Overseas  Rs. 22.20 crore 
   
Worldwide Rs. 79.55 crore

For the unversed, Parasakthi stars Ravi Mohan in the negative lead. Besides Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan, the movie also features Atharvaa, Sreeleela (in her Tamil debut), with Dev Ramnath, Prithvi Rajan, Guru Somasundaram, Basil Joseph and Papri Ghosh in pivotal roles.
