Sivakarthikeyan's 'Parasakthi' & Dhanush's 'Idli Kadai' box office revealed

Producer Aakash Baskaran cited controversies, clashes, censor issues, and high expectations for Parasakthi's box office underperformance.

Parasakthi was a big-budget film whose collections were not on expected levels compared to the investment.

Idli Kadai was made on a much smaller budget and became a profitable venture for the producer.

Baskaran was able to pay Dhanush the complete profit share for Idli Kadai, unlike Parasakthi.

Sudha Kongara directed Parasakthi, while Dhanush wrote, directed, and starred in Idli Kadai.
