Captain Prabhakaran is a 1991 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by R. K. Selvamani. The film stars Vijayakanth, leading an ensemble cast that includes M. N. Nambiar, Sarathkumar, J. Livingston (credited as Ranjan), Rupini, Ramya Krishnan and Mansoor Ali Khan, in his first major role. It was Vijayakanth's 100th film, and popularised the sobriquet "captain" for him. The character of the antagonist Veerabhadran, played by Mansoor Ali Khan, is loosely based on the forest brigand Veerappan.
