Paramashiva is a 2014 Indian Kannada-language musical drama film directed by Mahesh Babu and produced by Anaji Nagaraj. It stars V. Ravichandran, Saranya Mohan, Sakshi Sivanand and Vijay Raghavendra. The film revolves around the bond between a brother and his sister, and the emotional challenges they face as their lives progress.
The film is a remake of the Tamil film Samudhiram (2001), with a subplot borrowed from another Tamil film, Simmarasi (1998), similar to the pattern followed by the 2002 Telugu film Siva Rama Raju. Originally slated for release in 2011, the film experienced delays and was eventually released on 12 September 2014, due to the producer's other commitments.[1]
