Plot
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's struck by lightning, and experiences a brief coma. He's sent to Singapore to recover and finds that he has electrokinesis, superhuman strength, and temporary mind control. Fourteen 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're determined to install thirty six kilometers of uninterrupted laser cable in Veeranor.
Kumaran mind controls 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 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. He also uses mind control on the council leader to prevent him from signing the temple land off to JACL, as destroying it is a requirement to build the cables. He controls a goon of JACL to instill fear into the non believers, but Kumaran reveals to his friends that his mind could make him unconscious if used too much, but that a bracelet given to him by Sakkarai's grandfather helps control his powers. He's temporarily hospitalized as a result but escapes in order to fight goons sent by JACL to destroy the temple, successfully fending him off with help from his horse Bruce Lee. This causes the entire village worships Veera and denies JACL their land.
