The film features [[Ajith Kumar]] in the lead role with [[Jayaram]], [[Laila Mehdin|Laila]], [[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]] and [[Prakash Raj]] playing other supporting roles. The synopsis is based on [[1998 Coimbatore bombings]]. It was released on 14 January 2006 to mixed to negative reviews and was average at the box office.<ref>Davis, Franko (10 November 2005) [http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/2613/tamil/paramasivan/627/review.htm Paramasivan review]. nowrunning.com</ref> The film was a remake the [[Hindi language|Hindi-language]] film ''[[Kartoos]]'' (1999) starring [[Sanjay Dutt]], [[Jackie Shroff]] and [[Manisha Koirala]].

==Plot==
Subramaniyam Siva ([[Ajith Kumar]]) is in jail, awaiting the death sentence for killing corrupt and evil members of the police force who had killed his father SI Ganapathy ([[Rajesh (actor)|Rajesh]]) and sister. SP of Police ''Nethiadi'' Nandakumar ([[Prakash Raj]]) is an honest, fearless, and upright police officer who has been given the mission to flush out the terrorist outfit behind the Coimbatore blasts. He decides to employ unconventional methods to fulfill his mission and engages Siva to assist him, renaming him Paramasivan, changing his look (cutting his [[Dreadlocks|Jaṭā hair]]), and giving him a single-point agenda – trace out and erase the people responsible for the Coimbatore blasts. Unaware to Paramasivan, Nandakumar intends on killing him after the mission is completed.

The fly in the ointment is played by CBI officer Nair ([[Jayaram]]), who is out to trace Paramasivan and stop his unlawful activities. His assistant SI Agniputran ([[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]]), provides lighter moments. How Paramasivan finishes the villains and his job forms the rest of the story. Paramasivan comes to know of Nandakumar's idea to kill him after the mission during the last few scenes where Nair intervenes. Eventually, Paramasivan is forgiven and starts a new life with his lover Malar ([[Laila Mehdin|Laila]]).

==Production==
After the success of ''[[Chandramukhi]]'' (2005), director [[P. Vasu]] announced his intentions of directing [[Rajinikanth]] again but the announcement of Rajinikanth's collaboration with [[S. Shankar|Shankar]] in ''[[Sivaji (film)|Sivaji]]'' hindered his hopes. In August 2005, he roped in [[Ajith Kumar]] to play the protagonist in his next film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ajithkumar.free.fr/news/news_180.htm |title=Rajini blessed for the success of Ajith's Thirupathi |publisher=www.ajithkumar.fr.fm |date=29 August 2005 |access-date=18 October 2012}}</ref> The project was initially taken up by director [[Bala (director)|Bala]]'s production house, B Studios, and was titled ''Idi'' (Thunder), with [[Laila Mehdin|Laila]] selected to play the leading female role.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.apunkachoice.com/scoop/downsouth/tamil/20050906-0.html |title=Laila is back in Kollywood with a bang : Down South : Tamil News |publisher=ApunKaChoice.Com |date=26 January 2006 |access-date=18 October 2012}}</ref> The film was launched on 10 September 2005 by [[Rajinikanth]], while the title was changed to ''Paramasivan''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/features/News/News29/10-9-05e/tamil-movies-news-ajith.html |title=Tamil movies : It will be Paramasivan from P Vasu |publisher=Behindwoods |date=10 September 2005 |access-date=18 October 2012}}</ref>
