Veeran

Veeran

The village of Veeranor, in Coimbatore, has a temple for the deity Veeran despite the lack of belief by the people. A 15-year-old Kumaran is near the temple when he is struck by lightning, and experiences a brief coma. Kumaran is sent to Singapore to recover and finds that he has electrokinesis, superhuman strength, and temporary mind control. 14 years later, Kumaran returns and shows off his powers to his friends Sakkarai and Selvi, but also tells them about visions he had of Veeranor's destruction. They find that a member of the technology company JACL has been trying to warn the villagers that the laser cables that they installed at a cheap price is volatile and capable of destroying the village, but nobody takes him seriously, and the police are bribed by the company. JACL is led by the evil scientist Sarath, his brother Thruv, and politician Sharath, who are testing fatal experimental super serums, killing subjects. They are determined to install 36 kilometers of uninterrupted laser cable in Veeranor. Kumaran brainwashes inspector Nallasamy to get the confidential files seized by the police who turned in the traitor from JACL, and uses the village cable operators to broadcast the nature of the project. Despite this, however, nobody believes that the cables are dangerous, so Kumaran and Sakkarai plot to invent Veeran's mythology. Kumaran impersonates Veeran, and they start spreading rumors to the village about his return.
