The film was titled *Paramasivan*, in reference to one of the [Hindu](/source/Hinduism) god [Shiva](/source/Shiva)'s names. Vasu explained, "Everyone knows that Lord Shiva destroys evil when he opens his [third eye](/source/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](/source/Laila_(actress)) was cast as the lead actress, reuniting with Ajith after *[Dheena](/source/Dheena)* (2001).[3] ## Soundtrack The music was composed by [Vidyasagar](/source/Vidyasagar_(composer)).[4] Song title Singers Lyrics "Oru Kili" Madhu Balakrishnan, Sujatha Yugabharathi "Aasai Dosai" Priya Subramani Na.

Ulaganathan of *[Deccan Herald](/source/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] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Kumar, S.
