The team of the Tamil film Parasakthi, including actor Sivakarthikeyan, celebrated Pongal with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a New Delhi event. The film, themed on 1960s anti-Hindi agitations and associated with the DMK, drew criticism from Congress leaders who questioned the alignment with the Sangh Parivar. This controversy intensified amid delays in censor clearance for actor-politician Vijay's film Jana Nayagan, which faces a postponed release.
