More details
As per the team of ‘Amaran’, Rajinikanth had recently spoken to Kamal Haasan over phone, congratulating him on producing the film. Amaran is directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and tells the story of Major Mukund, an Ashok Chakra recipient known for his valour in a counterterrorism operation while on deputation to the 44th Rashtriya Rifles battalion in Jammu and Kashmir.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “When director Rajkumar roped in Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi for the lead roles, half the battle was won as these two fine performers truly bring to life Mukund and Indhu on screen. The wonderful chemistry between them comes to the fore in highly nuanced scenes, whether playful and romantic or serious and emotional. The acting is very natural for both Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi. However, one can also see the efforts Sivakarthikeyan has put into his physical transformation to look like the part of any armyman.”
Amaran, a biopic of Major Mukund Varadarajan, hit the theatres on October 31. Sivakarthikeyan plays the lead role, with Sai Pallavi playing the late major’s wife, Indhu Rebecca Varghese. The film boasts a strong support cast, including Bhuvan Arora, Rahul Bose, Lallu, Shreekumar, and Shyam Mohan. Produced by Kamal Haasan, R. Mahendran, and Sony Pictures International Productions, the film brings together the talents of Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi under the direction of Rajkumar Periasamy.
