Cast
Production
After the success of Chandramukhi (2005), director P. Vasu wanted to direct an action film, and cast Ajith Kumar as the lead actor. The film was titled Paramasivan, in reference to one of the Hindu god Shiva's names. Vasu explained, "Everyone knows that Lord Shiva destroys evil when he opens his third eye [...] Similarly, my hero also reacts to evil by symbolically opening his third eye". Ajith shed around 15 kilograms (15,000 g) to get into shape.[2] Laila was cast as the lead actress, reuniting with Ajith after Dheena (2001).[3]

Release and reception
Paramasivan was released on 14 January 2006 during the week of Pongal, clashing with Aathi and Saravana.[5] Lajjavathi of Kalki praised Ajith's appearance but panned the climax bike fight and characterisations of Jayaram, Laila and terrorists and concluded saying slim Ajith would have got another Villain if he had chosen a new story with a slightly new background.[6] G. Ulaganathan of Deccan Herald wrote, "Paramasivan has all the ingredients in proper mix---action, pathos, sentiment, comedy, stunts, romance, etc. It should satisfy Ajith's fans".[7] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online praised Ajith's performance and Vasu's writing, as well as the action choreography, but criticised Vidyasagar's music and felt Laila was wasted.[8]
