Paramasivan (Tamil: பரமசிவன்) is a 2006 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by P. Vasu and produced by S. Ramesh Babu. The film features Ajith Kumar in the lead role with Laila, Vivek, Prakash Raj and Jayaram playing other pivotal roles. It was released on 14 January 2006 to positive reviews and declared as a blockbuster. The film was inspired from the Hindi-language film Kartoos (1999) starring Sanjay Dutt.

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 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, 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 Nair (Jayaram), a CBI officer, who is out to trace Paramasivan and stop his unlawful activities. His assistant, SI Agniputran (Vivek) provides lighter moments. How Paramasivan finishes the villains and finishes 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 so he starts a new life with his lover Malar (Laila Mehdin).
