Bhaskar is a rascal) is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language action comedy film[2] written and directed 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, and Nassar play supporting roles.

Shivani admires Bhaskar for his authoritative stance and treats him like a father figure for his heroism.

Anu tells Shivani the story of how she lost her husband Sanjay long ago in Kolkata because of her aggressive behavior when a few thugs misbehaved towards her in the elevator.

Bhaskar shows interest in Anu, but she remains indifferent and tries to avoid him, even though she tried to understand his good nature.

He had been using her to gain access to a party and had killed her friend's father, who is a scientist and had stolen a research hard disk containing locations of plutonium mines in the country.

The success of Siddique's Malayalam film, Bhaskar the Rascal (2015) prompted the makers to consider making a Tamil version, with Ajith Kumar linked to the lead role in late 2015.

[5] In September 2016, Siddique finalised Arvind Swamy as the male lead and held unsuccessful discussions with Nayanthara and then Sonakshi Sinha to star opposite him.

[6][7] In early 2017, Siddique selected Amala Paul and Nainika to play the other lead roles in the film.

The pair's refusal meant that Raghavan, who had previously appeared in Sethupathi (2016) and Pa Paandi (2017), was added to the cast.

[10] Siddique revealed that he planned to keep the essence of the original Malayalam film, but would incorporate more action scenes for the Tamil version.

Comedy actors including Soori, Ramesh Khanna and Robo Shankar were also drafted in to work on the project.

[13][14][15][16] Soundtrack was composed by Amresh Ganesh and lyrics were written by Pa. Vijay, Karunakaran, Viveka, and Madhan Karky.

[19][20] The film was initially scheduled to be released on January 14 but later got postponed to April 27 however failed to meet the expectations.

[24] Indian Express wrote "The film's setting, story and characters fall flat, reducing Bhaskar Oru Rascal to a very few enjoyable moments that come far in between.

"[25] The Hindu wrote "It's nice to see Arvind Swami loosen up on screen, but ‘Bhaskar Oru Rascal’ fails to create an emotional connect.
