Parasuram is a 2003 Tamil language film starring Arjun Sarja, Abbas, Goundamani, Kiran Rathod, Gayathri Raguram and others. The film entails the efforts of Officer Parasuram (Arjun) against Akash, a terrorist who converts the youth of India into suicide bombers.
Plot
An underground terror group led by a mysterious proxy Akash recruits unemployed youth and turns them into suicide bombers. Asst. Commissioner of Police Parashuram (Arjun) decides to take the case (and the film) into his own hands in a fit of patriotic fervour.
