Bhaskar Oru Rascal

Bhaskar Oru Rascal (transl. Bhaskar is a rascal) is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language action comedy film directed and co-written by Siddique. A remake of his own Malayalam film Bhaskar the Rascal (2015), the film stars Arvind Swamy, Amala Paul, Master Raghavan, and Baby Nainika, while Nikesha Patel, Aftab Shivdasani, Soori, Robo Shankar and Nassar play supporting roles. This marks Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani's Tamil cinema debut. Production began in February 2017.

Bhaskar is a business tycoon and single parent. His father, M. A. M. Rangasamy, is a retired businessman, and Bhaskar takes over his textile and real estate businesses. Bhaskar deals with all the complicated situations in his profession with rowdyism and is crude and crass. This behaviour earns him the name "Rascal". He has a son named Aakash. Aakash and Shivani study in the same school. Shivani's mother, Anu, is also a single parent. She meets Bhaskar at the school, and they get involved in an altercation. Shivani admires Bhaskar for his authoritative stance and treats him like a father figure for his heroism.

One day, Bhaskar goes with Aakash for a felicitation ceremony, where actress Kalyani is the chief guest. A comedic incident meant that the reporters at the function mistake Bhaskar for Kalyani's love interest. Kalyani's love interest happens to see this news and separates from her. Bhaskar tries to set things right by meeting Kalyani's love interest and settling the misunderstanding, but the latter insults Bhaskar. This leads to Bhaskar thrashing the guy in his office; the press records it.

All these events place Bhaskar in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Anu does not have a good impression of him but likes Aakash's mild-mannered nature. At school, Akaash's classmates mock him because of his father's recent fiasco. Shivani tries to help Aakash, which leads to her attacking the boy in self-defence. The boy's mother makes an issue of it, but thanks to Bhaskar's timely intervention, he sorts out the matter. Bhaskar encourages Shivani to be outspoken and aggressive, but Anu dislikes it. She argues with Bhaskar, takes Shivani home, and scolds her.

Anu tells Shivani the story of how she lost her husband Sanjay long ago in Kolkata because of her aggressive behaviour when a few thugs misbehaved towards her in the elevator. Sanjay does nothing, irritating Anu. Once he drops her off, he drives back to the place and beats up the thugs. Anu follows and sees this and tries to stop Sanjay, but one of the thugs shoots him and dies. She states she does not want the same fate for Shivani and her.

Meanwhile, Aakash and Shivani plan to get their parents married, so they spend time with their "new parents" - Shivani with Bhaskar and Aakash with Anu. Bhaskar shows interest in Anu, but she remains indifferent and tries to avoid him, even though she tries to understand his good nature.

On Shivani's birthday, a small party is organised. The only guests invited are Aakash and Bhaskar, but a third uninvited guest appears and introduces himself as Sanjay. Anu reveals she still has an untold part of what happened to Sanjay. He was sent to a nearby hospital, but the doctor plans to shift him to another hospital. Anu and her friend follow the ambulance but find that Sanjay is missing, and Anu discovers that Sanjay is a killer and sharpshooter. He had been using her to gain access to a party, had assassinated her friend's father, who is a scientist and had stolen a research hard disk containing locations of plutonium mines locations in the country. Anu is shocked because Sanjay not only used her but also seduced her in bed, resulting in her getting pregnant. Anu had moved away from Calcutta, gave birth to Shivani, and lived there since then.

Anu accepts Rangasamy's marriage proposal to Bhaskar to save herself and Shivani from Sanjay but fears putting Bhaskar and Aakash in danger and backs out at the last minute. She decides to move to Canada with Shivani permanently. Sanjay's parents intervene and request Anu to go to Kolkata with them one last time to retrieve the hard disk in Anu's locker. Anu goes to Kolkata with Sanjay to get his hard disk with Bhaskar and the kids. Suddenly, Sanjay's father kidnaps Aakash and Shivani and demands the hard disk from Sanjay, indicating that he has a purpose for it. A fight ensues, resulting in Bhaskar saving everyone and killing Sanjay and his father. Anu and Shivani cancel their Canada trip and reunite with Bhaskar and Aakash. Bhaskar and Anu get married. A few months later, Anu becomes pregnant with Bhaskar.
