'Prabhakaran' is a 2008 Sri Lankan bilingual biographical war film directed by Thushara Peiris and produced by Osmond de Silva. It stars Priyankara Rathnayake, Anuruddhika Padukkage and Dasun Madhusanka in lead roles along with Darshan Dharmaraj and Sarath Dikkumbura. Music composed by Mahesh Denipitiya. It is the 1104th film in Sri Lankan cinema. The film gained notoriety after Peiris was attacked by a mob in Chennai, India during a visit to work on the film's Tamil version. The attack was a result of an opposition towards the film by Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) supporters in the midst of ongoing protests against the Sri Lankan Civil War.
The film screened successfully in Rome and 25 theaters around Europe and earned 18,000 Euros.

The film revolves around the life and incidents of an LTTE cadre and his brother in the Wanni.
