Pazhani (Tamil: பழனி) is a 2008 Indian Tamil action film with Bharath in the lead role. It is directed by Perarasu and produced by director Shakthi Chidambaram under the banner Cinema paradise. Srikanth Deva scores music. Bharath plays the role of a car driver. Kajal Aggarwal is the heroine and Kushboo plays Bharath's elder sister.
The film was formally launched on 10 June 2007 and was released on 14 January 2008 as a Pongal release. This is the first film release for Kajal Aggarwal in Tamil. It is dubbed into Telugu as Bhargava and in Hindi as Shaktishali Shiva. It is also remade into Oriya as Gud boy. 'Yaarum Ennidam' is a popular love song from this film.
The film opens and ends with jail sequences. In both scenes, Pazhanivel (Bharath), the hero, is seen behind bars. The happenings from his release and his re-entry to the jail make the whole film. Pazhanivel, who comes out of prison, puts his sister Karpagambal’s (Kushboo) life on track through his heroics, and goes back to the prison as a martyr.
Pazhanivel was put behind the bars when he was ten years old. He killed his father's "keep" who made his mother’s life a hell by exploiting her to cajole his ‘keep’. He went to jail and his father turned an aimless vagabond. The boy’s elder sister, who disowned him when he was sent to jail, grew up and got married to a businessman Jeevanandham (Biju Menon). Karpagambal is living in a fool’s paradise, believing the man, who is actually an antisocial element.
However, she need not worry about anything. Pazhanivel, who is now 25, has come out of jail. He gets a job in his sister’s house without revealing his identity, unearths the shady deals of his sister’s husband, reforms him, and puts his sister’s life on track. Meanwhile, he finds his lady love Deepti (Kajal Aggarwal).
It was announced in 2007 that Bharath would collaborate with Perarasu. The song sequence was shot at Prasad Studios with various chariots, more than fifty junior artists in colourful costumes and more than thousand other artists participated in this song. The song, "Yaarum Ennidam" was shot at places in Andhra Pradesh like Golkonda Fort. The song, "Innoru Murai", was shot at Binny Mills.
